Student body lodges complaint against EFF
The Democratic Alliance Student Organisation (Daso) last week filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission (HRC), against members of the EFF and Student Command (EFFSC) last week.
This after students were refused access to the Hatfield campus of the University of Pretoria based on their race, according to a statement on the Politicsweb site.
‘This complaint with the HRC aims to address the violation of students’ constitutional right to education. We are calling for the HRC to ensure that the EFF is deregistered as a political party, for their clear human rights abuse. Furthermore victims of these acts deserve compensation while the involved EFF councillors must be suspended from public office,' said Liam Jacobs, Daso federal leader.
Jacobs said Crezane Bosch MPL and Ruhan Robinson MPL, have also committed to write to the Speaker of Council in Tshwane and the MEC of COGTA in the province.
Jacob says the EFF’s regional chairperson, Obakeng Ramabodu should be expelled from council, and ‘we demand that urgent intervention take place’.
He believes Obakeng has breached the code of conduct in terms of the Structures Act.
The EFFSC protested around the Hatfield campus of the University of Pretoria alongside the EFF, with Obakeng telling students that ‘only black students’ may enter campus’ after the disqualification of their SRC candidates.
