TMG Digital/Daily Dispatch reports that the registration of newcomers at the Walter Sisulu University’s (WSU’s) Ibika campus in Butterworth in the Eastern Cape, due to start on Monday, was delayed after staff went on strike due to the water crisis.
The campus is a victim of the water crisis that has been affecting the entire Mnquma Municipality since early last year. All water taps at Mnquma have run dry. The students’ representative council (SRC) has warned university management to engage them about a possible solution, failing which protracted protest action was looming. The registration delay might continue beyond Monday.
