One of the five students who were suspended at Wits University amid protests said he has been told to vacate his residence inside the campus before the end of Monday evening.

On Thursday the university announced the suspension of a group it said were disrupters, after violent protests at the university, which spread to the Johannesburg CBD.Penipeni Tshabalala, 22, from Free State is one of the suspended students. He told TimesLIVE on Monday he doesn’t know where he would sleep and considering that his home is in another province, he didn’t have time to make arrangements to go home.“They are actually saying that I should sort myself out.

“Today [Monday] in the morning they came to make me sign the acknowledgment that I have received the letter that they gave me on Friday. After that I am being told I must leave the campus,” he said.He said even the suspension came at a short notice with no prior notice, nor an opportunity to defend and state why he should not be suspended.

“The suspension letter stated a charge and they said regarding this charge they are also suspending me,” he said.Tshabalala said the university’s decision was to intimidate students by using both internal and external processes which include lawyers at the university and from an external company.
