The Democratic Alliance Youth in Gauteng North would like to congratulate Mthokozisi Nkosi, Deputy-Chairperson of the DA Students’ Organisation (DASO) at the University of Pretoria, on becoming the first DASO-aligned President of this university’s Temporary Student Committee (TSC).
Following the University of Pretoria’s refusal to release Student Representative Council (SRC) election results in 2011, the TSC was convened. Mthokozisi Nkosi’s commitment to students has clearly been acknowledged; Nkosi championed fairer access to financial aid during his tenure as an SRC member. He spearheaded the creation of an Aid Fund to fight the financial exclusion of indigent students, and raised over R14 000 to ensure students have equal access to textbooks.
These progressive measures highlight DASO’s commitment to ensuring students at tertiary institutions have access to equal opportunities. Mthokozisi Nkosi’s election to the TSC is an indication that other student societies have confidence in his leadership capabilities and experience as an activist for student rights.
DASO entered the 2011 SRC elections with a central promise to end divisive racial politics as Tukkies, and it will be through the leadership of people like Nkosi that the DA Youth can continue promoting diversity and delivery for all students.

This is a wake up call for South Africans, young and old-we cazn’t sitback and watch while this beautiful country is going into the drain. there can never be any justiable excuse for holding election results, whether at varsity elections, Loc. Gov. or National elections-this shows that if we’re not careful this country will soon be like Zimbabwe and other countries ruled by dictators who think that their ruling is God’s gift to them.
If when defeated, SASCO doesnt release results what will hold ANC from doing that-I mean all these people don’t wanna rescpect our country’sa laws.
