The Democratic Alliance Student Organization (DASO) in North West notes with concern the disruptions that took place at the North West University (NWU) Mahikeng Campus yesterday.
We condemn any form of violence and destruction to property. Previous violent protests at the Mahikeng Campus have proven to be setbacks rather than gains and valuable lessons can be drawn from them.
As in the past, the majority of enrolled students just want to attend classes and study towards their graduation, but their right to education are undermined by a minority of politically aligned-student formations that thrive on radical and violent protest.
