Students at the University of the Witwatersrand

have been issued with notices of suspension after protests over accommodation problems last Wednesday.The demonstrations were sparked by the university's student representative council demanding immediate action after about 200 students had been sleeping in computer laboratories and the library due to not having accommodation.

“The suspension hearings began today [Wednesday] and to date four individuals have been partially suspended. Others have received final warnings, which now reflect on their student records.” Speaking to SowetanLIVE's sister publication TimesLIVE about the disciplinary hearings, Wits spokesperson Shirona Patel said: “The university is of the view that individuals who disrupt lectures, who violate the rights of others or who maliciously destroy property must be held to account for their actions.”Four students have been suspended for disrupting classes, for violating the rights of others and for malicious damage to property.
