Wits resumes with registration
Witwatersand University will resume registrations on Wednesday, the insitution said.
The registration process was suspended on Monday after students embarked on their #FeesMustFall protests.
Student Representatives at Wits have since turned down the institution’s offer to give students a month’s grace to pay their registration fees.
The students are insisting on free registration for all academically qualifying students.
In a statement Wits management said on Tuesday that campus security evicted 20 students who had occupied the Ground Floor of Senate House and who effectively disrupted the University’s registration process.
“The occupation infringed on the rights of students who wanted to register, many of them the poorest of the poor that required assistance from the University,” said Wits management.
“The University suspended face to face registration on Monday and Tuesday and students were requested to register online and telephonically. Face to face registration will continue from Wednesday.”
