Political Accountability
The Election Committee, under the stewardship of Mothobisi, has unfortunately descended into a spectacle that makes a mockery of democratic processes. Candidates with demonstrable support from the student body are being arbitrarily removed, discarded as though the electorate’s mandate carries no weight.
We are equally aware of the political interests and individuals exerting influence behind the scenes to engineer outcomes favorable to particular factions. This is no longer merely an electoral dispute; it is a question of institutional integrity, procedural fairness, and the credibility of student democracy.
Over the weekend, strategic student accommodations and constituencies will be visited as part of a peaceful mobilisation drive, engaging students and organised forces that understand the long-term dangers posed by the precedent the ELC is setting. We will ensure that those who understand the importance of due process, democratic accountability, and the integrity of student elect.
The quietness of Crisselda Dotwana as Director of students affairs Under Qwaqwa campus regarding these matters speaks volume and alarming at the same time. It clearly indicates she's directly linked to this purging process and financially benefitting from all these shenanigans.
