These racist things cant even speak proper English....why demonstrate in this manner when fighting the selection process applied in the institution?? This is totally out of hand and white people are the very first ones to always draw racial tension in many discomforting situations!! Bigoted hypocrites!!

@DeCock1

The one lady received 6 distinctions and was not allowed because of her "poor academic record". Does that sound correct to you? If it happened to you how would you feel? If they need to give opportunities to black people it’s fine, but then tell the white lady she was not selected because of her skin colour. SA would be a far better place if we try to put ourselves in each other shoe.s.

People in glass houses should not throw stones.....like Malema chief.

Maybe they should toy toy and destroy a few windows and private property as per your usual strike in this country....follow the ANC youth puppets and go on the rampage.

People need to lose the victim mentality and move on...why threatened by a couple of white students with fantastic academic marks?

Pathetic!

Anyway, good on these marginialised students for peacefully trying to get their point across...simply that the selection criteria is racist and pathetic....
