EFFSC calls on UFS to 'come to the table' | News Article

Disgruntled students from University of Free State (UFS) in Qwaqwa have called on the university management to find amicable solutions for student issues and withdraw the current deployment of police and security on campus.

This, after the violent protests by students that erupted in Qwaqwa campus earlier this week.

The UFS Economic Freedom Fighters Student Command spokesperson in Qwaqwa, Xola Mehlomakhulu, said that students are disappointed by so-called "trigger happy" police who target unarmed students - while criminals continue to murder women and children of this country.

Mehlomakhulu also lambasted the UFS for allegedly victimising, suspending and getting students arrested.

He further alleges that the University has a court interdict which prohibits students from voicing their concerns.

Meanwhile, OFM News has sent inquiries to UFS and is awaiting a response.
