NWU not planning to press charges against ANC Youth League | News Article

Potchefstroom - The North West University is not considering levelling charges against the ANC Youth League, as they were within their right to protest.

This is according to University spokesperson, Louis Jacobs.

This follows the handing over of a memorandum of grievances and demands to the university’s management. Members of the league held a demonstration outside the Institutional building of the Potchefstroom Campus earlier this afternoon.

The league is demanding, among other things, that transformation at the university and especially the Potchefstroom campus be expedited.

There was a strong police presence on the campus during the demonstration, and officers had to use two stun grenades to bring the crowd under control.

Jacobs says the 200 strong crowd had attempted to force open a gate that provides access to the Institutional offices.
