I didn’t know UCT had a major in woodworking either."Laura Mostert: "Julius Malema the same person who promotes violence and discriminates against people of different races???? How can you as UCT even consider this man? He is not the son of the soil but a weed that needs to be removed!"Juliana Fell Swales Inglis: "WOW GET...OUT....
Pillay said nominations in writing must be signed by at least 20 people , each of whom must be either a member of the convocation or a member of staff or a student at the university.* Nominations must be sent to: The Registrar, University of Cape Town, Private Bag X3, Rondebosch, 7701 or via email to [email protected]
