Cape Town –The UWC Convocation elections held on June 3, 2017 have been declared unlawful and set aside by the Western Cape High Court.

The two members of the convocation affected by the ruling are Judge Nathan Erasmus and Reverend Llewellyn Macmaster. However in his judgement. Judge Kollapen said: “Given the size of the council as well as the very short period of time between this order and the next election date in October this year, an order of setting aside is unlikely to have any effect on the functioning of council between the date of this order and the next election of convocation.”
