DASO the only alternative for good governance at NMU

By

Dear MyPE

I urge all Nelson Mandela University (NMU) students to go out in their numbers and vote in the Student Representative Council Election.

Good governance is important at all levels of society in order to facilitate a people-driven agenda, and this includes institutions of higher learning.

When DASO governed the NMU SRC in 2016, the well-being of the students were paramount, something that has all but disappeared under the SASCO-led administration. The 2016 DASO-led SRC launched an effective SRC bailout fund to assist students with debt clearance to register, launched an #EnablingDreams initiative, which raised hundreds of thousands of rands to assist needy students. These needy students were failed by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).

The ANC-affiliated SASCO has failed the students of NMU and they are suffering because of this.

DASO’s recent SRC Election victories at the University of Fort Hare and PE College is indicative of growing youth support for the DA.

Furthermore, DASO’s commitment to caring for students and their issues underlines that it is the only alternative for good governance.

Students deserve an honest and caring government that will ensure that their dreams are enabled.

Like millions of other South Africans, the students of NMU realise that only the DA can bring the real change that builds one South Africa for all.

DASO continues to fight for no student to be left behind.

Nqaba Bhanga
DA EC Provincial Leader and EC Premier Candidate
