The Higher Education Transformation Network has expressed its disappointment at the recent developments at the University of Cape Town regarding its admission policy. 

The HETN said it is dangerous for UCT to carry on with the process of exclusive policy of removing the category of black students on its admission forms. HETN Spokesperson Hendrick Makaneta said UCT has failed to listen to the voices of students and agents of transformation.

Makaneta added that they have equally expressed their concern declaring that the reasons for including race in the application form of universities have not been realized. The problems that led to that have not been resolved.

“We are worried that UCT wants to behave as though all black students are now suddenly capable of registering in institutions of higher learning.” concluded Makaneta
