The gates to the University of the Western Cape (UWC) were blocked causing a traffic snarl-up, as students protested over private accommodation on Thursday.

“We have been in discussions with South Point and, it is important to state, that we have presented our own agreement for review and discussion. We have done this because we would like to maintain the number of bed spaces we have at the moment.”

“It is also important to state that the university has, since April 2019, been engaging bulk private accommodation providers in preparation for the 2020 academic year,” he said.
