TUT won’t join tertiary shutdown ‘but supports the cause’ Updated Anastasi Mokgobu Share this: The student representative council (SRC) at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) says it supports the call by students and SAUS to shut down all 26 public universities. Maryke Vermaak SRC President Mike Mothiba says it won’t join as students have yet to complete the 2020 academic year. “It will be unfair for the SRC to call for the university to shutdown whilst students want to exit the university as graduates to participate in the mainstream economy and the labour market as well as to apply for potential bursaries.
