Tell the people about 5G radiation that's killing people and stop these lies
Hmmm now they show face?
Why are you using the face of professor Mamokgethi ?
Is she not the chancellor of the university, her face is used to represent the decision to close the university.Thsts how I read it .
All universities have to be closed hence I said the state of emergency is really not a solution.There should be just total shut down
Say hi to the timeslive Online Editor LeboNthongoa, the one with the nyols you normally see. I hope UCT_VC will take them to task at SAEditorsForum
