This compact, once again, proves that the South African Government, specifically the Department of Higher Education, Science, and Innovation, under Dr. Blade Nzimande’s leadership, do not care about the poor and working class.
As DASO-UWC, we wish to categorically state that we oppose this compact. As a result of the pandemic, and subsequent lockdown, many households have been forced to take salary cuts, and many have even faced retrenchments – leaving them with little or no disposal income.
2021 Tuition fee increase 4,7%

#NoStudentLeftBehind
We welcome the move by UWC to allow social visits as this allows students to socialize and support one another during these trying times.
#level1lockdown #MentalHealthMatters @UWConline
We are happy to announce that the University of the Western Cape has lifted the prohibition of social visits to residences.
This means that students can now receive visitors at their respective residences but only from students residing on campus. @UWConline #level1lockdown
