A student who called for a repeat of the June 16 1976 Soweto uprising was hospitalised after he was allegedly choked at the University of Johannesburg campus where he was meant to graduate.
Mphahlele – a UJ Soweto campus student who was supposed to graduate with a degree in BA Public Management and Governance – put up the post on Sunday, three days before his graduation at the UJ APK campus in Auckland Park. Mphahlele said he was taken to Garden City Hospital as the altercation had exacerbated a recent injury on his right arm sustained from a car accident.
“A lot of leaders from my Soweto branch were graduating. It was about mobilising for celebration and support.”Mphahlele said he planned to open a case against the university management for not allowing him to graduate and for the alleged assault, but he could not do so. “We as the university cannot react on the basis of a post on social media. This had nothing to do with a post as we have not even seen the post,” he said.
