POLOKWANE – The EFF Student Council at the University of Limpopo say what has been depicted in videos doing the rounds on social media, is not a strike, but a peaceful meeting between the organisation and students. They say the meeting was disrupted by opposing student council, SASCO which resulted in chaos on campus.
Hlawulekani Ndhima, the EFF secretary for the University of Limpopo branch explained that they had arranged talks with the University management to negotiate moving away from computerized registration to manual registration to speed up the process, which they feel is dragging on unnecessarily.

Registration at the University began on Monday, 14 January and will run till Thursday, 17 January with an intake of 4 750 students for the 2019 academic year.
The University’s Acting Registrar, Professor Kwena Masha said the enrolment process was expected to be seamless and peaceful, however, students say that is not the case.
