Burning of artwork & busses threatens to distract from the real issues on campus only hurts poor students who rely on the free services.

DASO released a statement condemning violent actions taken by student affiliated to #RhodesMustFall.
"The issue of accommodation is a legitimate and serious concern that is affecting not only UCT, but campuses across South Africa. Students already face difficult circumstances on campus without having to be further negatively impacted by a movement that seeks to divide students using racial rhetoric and divisive actions," it said.
