WSU shuts down!!!

In light of a number of rampages that led to property damage and putting the lives of students and staff stake, Walter Sisulu University's vice-chancellor professor Rob Midgley decided on Thursday to close the Nelson Mandela Drive (NMD) campus in Mthatha with immediate effect.

Xhobani Security staff at the Mthatha campus started their own protest when they insisted that three dismissed security personnel be re-employed under WSU. Their protest turned into an uncontrollable unrest, where security officers were removed from their posts, leading to people getting injured and a security vehicle getting torched.

It seems as if the Butterworth campus is also facing difficulties in the online residence allocation and other management issues which will result in a protest if left un attended.
