"We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it"_ Che Guevara.

Revolutionary greetings to the entire community of MUT.

The statement serves to address the issues of which the SRC are silent about.

ACCOMMODATION

Many students of MUT including the Nsfas funded are left without accommodation and are told that there are no spaces to accommodate them. This raises questions in regards to whether the SRC along with the institution were prepared for the number of expected students to register and the accommodation required.

SASCO calls for the immediate accommodation for the stranded students who are deserving of the accommodation. No deserving students are to resort to private accommodations due to the incompetence of the SRC.

G20

The number of students wrongfully affected by the academic exclusion rule G20 is alarming, in as much as some were cleared to register most were left unattended until the very last day of registration. This lead to students finalizing their registration on the last day, causing them to loose their spaces in their previous residences and they are left without accommodation

These students were rejected by Nsfas due to the wrongful exclusion by the institution. SASCO demands that these students be accommodated, and their Nsfas appeals be approved with immediate effect.

ALLOWANCES

Classes have officially commenced and some students till date have not yet recieved their book allowances, as well as meals allowances but are too expected to academically cope. A fortunate batch was given just half of their book allowances while others were left to fend for them selves and promised a second batch.

SASCO demands that all deserving students be given not just half but their full allowance this upcoming friday as half of that allowance does not resolve all the needs of students.

For the first time in the history of MUT that the class representatives are expected to tackle financial issues of their fellow classmates while the SRC sits comfortably in their offices. This action is unacceptable, because of the fact that the class representatives are already stressed academically and must not be strained with the burden of the SRC.

TRANSPORTATION

Despite the fact that the registration is still in progress SRC expects students to have finalized everything, this is frustrating because students are left on campus by their transportation to res inorder to fend for themselves because they do not possess a res card on their person.

SASCO demands that these students be transported regardless of the absence of their res cards and must be given untill next week to have everything finalized.

SASCO also calls for the immediate provision of transportation to the students studying at North campus attending evening classes as these students are exposed to the dangers of Umlazi, namely theft. The transport will move students from North Campus to bus terminals at Seme hall to ensure their safety.

SASCO will continue to tirelessly advocate for the student's interests at all material times.



We hope the above is inorder

SASCO STATEMENT

"Fear is the passion of slaves"_ Patrick Henry

RESIDENCES AND TRANSPORT

It’s melancholy to see student suffer during this period of registration due to lack of student representation and apathetic shown by institutions towards students. SASCO calls for opening of all MUT residences to accommodate students that are struggling with registration whether or not they have residences offers. This had been a process that has been happening in the previous years and it had been aiding to students during hard times of registration.

It’s makes totally no logic to open residences and denny transportation to and from residences for students that will be seeking assistance on campus to finalize their registration hence SASCO calls for the institution to provide transport for students to campus and from campus with the following temporary bus timetable

From res 7am first trip and 8am second trip

To res 17pm first trip and 18pm second trip.

NSFAS APPEALS

Understanding that our institution accommodates more students from the previously disadvantaged backgrounds which makes it so difficult for students to pay for ridiculous concessions set by the institution. We are declaring that the institution register and accommodates all students with NSFAS appeal status while waiting for NSFAS to approve their appeals. History has shown that this mechanism is favourable for students, allowing them to cope in their academics with no barriers of any nature.

SRC trust fund

It is a sad truth that students who are in need of financial assistance are those that have not performed well academically in their previous year, or semester. Even Nsfas students are given an opportunity to appeal for academically ineligibility due to an understanding there ther are many unforeseen circumstances that avert students from performing well in their academics at a given period of time.

SASCO is calling for the reopening of SRC trust fund applications and to allow students with less then 60% nonsensical criteria set by the institution to prevent students from applying for SRC trust fund. SRC trust fund was set to assist all students that are in need of financial assistance hence SASCO declares a reviewal of the gibberish requirements that were imposed by the institution to stop students from utilising SRC trust fund.

REGISTRATION

The 2026 first semester registration has seen a lot of delays and system failures leading to less students becoming bonified. SASCO calls for the extension of the registration to ensure that all deserving students are caterd for and ensure that none are left astray. Most returning students are experiencing difficulties which have lead them to not being able to complete their registration because most are waiting for their ongoing appeals and some are facing financial challenges.

The pace at which this registration is moving is slow and frustrating to students, SASCO calls for the monitoring of the working academic staff to ensure that they are operating to the best of their ability, because we cannot have students who stand in line for the whole day and yet not recieve the assistance they need.

ALLOWANCES

Academic activities can not commence while students have no meals at their residences as well as academic tools. SASCO is calling for an early injection of students allowances, because students cannot physically and academically cope without recieving their allowances. The allowances for returning students must be injected early February without further delay.

The processing of the FTES banking details should commence as early as February to ensure that the students recieve their allowances on time without delays. There should be a clear communication indicating the required banking details to avoid having students submit the incorrect details then later facing difficulties.

CONCESSIONS

It has come to our attention that exit level students are required to pay concessions and registration whilst they are only left with 2 or less modules to obtain their qualification. SASCO says that these students must be obligated to paying only the registration fee as they are on the verge of completing the qualification. This was previously done successfully by SASCO, all exit level students facing financial frustrations were assisted.

SASCO will continue to advocate for the needs of the students of MUT with their interest at heart.

Kind regards
SASCO Branch Leadership

Revolutionary Greetings

The poster is meant to bridge the gap of communication between the 2026 MUT applicants and SASCO MUT branch so that when faced with any form of challenge they are able to contact any of the contacts listed on the poster and they will be available 24/7 to assist as well as to ensure access to every deserving person.

Returning students are also advised to inquire when faced with challenges.

Kind regards
