AfriForum Youth approaches High Court after US excludes students from SRC elections
18 August 2016
AfriForum Youth will bring an urgent application before the High Court in Cape Town tomorrow to compel the University of Stellenbosch (US) to reinstate the candidature of eight candidates for the Student Representative Council (SRC).
This follows after the US excluded these candidates from the election in an unfair manner and without giving valid reasons.
Morné Mostert, AfriForum Youth’s National Spokesperson, says that the US took this decision without providing these candidates an opportunity to state their case.
“The US Student Court acted contrary to its authority and powers on many an occasion. All attempts to follow internal remedies proved unsuccessful and were always hampered by the US.”
