The #DASO9 ran a campaign which promised a student-centered UCT for all.
Preliminary results of the students’ representative council (SRC) elections at the University of Cape Town (UCT) indicate a clean sweep by the Democratic Alliance Students Organisation (DASO), the DA said on Sunday.
“All nine DASO candidates (the #DASO9) who contested have been elected, which means that DASO UCT has a majority of nine out of 15 seats,” DA MP and DASO Western Cape constituency head Phumzile van Damme said.
At its first meeting the SRC would elect a president and the various office bearers. The DASO movement “continues to sweep across the country with DASO governing institutions in Gauteng, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, and Limpopo”, she said.
The #DASO9 ran a campaign which promised a student-centered UCT for all, where every student felt a sense of belonging, which had now been endorsed by the UCT student community.
The #DASO9 also pledged that 50 percent of the SRC stipend paid to SRC members would be donated to a fund to assist financially excluded students.
