The Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) says it has placed all eligible students in residences.
Higher Education Minister Dr. Nobuhle Nkabane gave the
institute five days in which to address students’ accommodation issues during
her oversight visits.
This was in response to recent student protests over
accommodation.
“No students remain in the District Six Student Centre.
CPUT was able to meet the demand for accommodation through a number of ways
including moving students into post-graduate residences, expediting the
maintenance projects of our own university-owned and operated residences and by
placing some in temporary accommodation as they await permanent placement,’’
said Lauren Kansley, CPUT spokesperson.
“The status of those who have been declined will not
change, they have been informed of such and they have been notified to seek
alternative accommodation,’’ he added.
