Mthatha High Court Hears Wsu Eviction Case

The Mthatha High Court is hearing an urgent application over the eviction of students from Walter Sisulu University's WSU Mthatha campus

This follows a notice from campus management to the University Council on Wednesday evening, instructing students to vacate the premises by 4 pm today Friday.

The eviction order comes in the wake of violent student protests that broke out on Tuesday morning, leading to the tragic death of a male student.

Unrest at the NMD campus resulted in the death of one person and the injury of several others.

The Walter Sisulu University SRCs legal team has approached the court to file an urgent application to halt the eviction of students at the university after the university resolved that the temporary closure of campuses was the only solution.
