EWN reports that the University of SA (Unisa) advised on Wednesday that a meeting between its management and the National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union (Nehawu) had taken place after disgruntled workers affiliated to the union disrupted a graduation ceremony on Tuesday.
The meeting discussed the issues in dispute that had led to the disruption, as well as the rules of engagement when employees exercised their right to protest, but there was still no final outcome. Unisa apologised to affected graduands and staff after it was forced to cancel the ceremony, which was supposed to have taken place on Tuesday night. Two other ceremony set for Wednesday were also postponed. Spokesperson Victor Dlamini said they were working on alternative arrangements, but the events remained postponed until further notice. Some unhappy students, who had travelled from different provinces, took to social media to lament the inconvenience.
