​Verklaring deur die Verkiesingskonvenor: Universiteit Stellenbosch Studenteraad

Uitkoms van Verkiesing van Voorsitter

(Volledige Afrikaanse weergawe volg)

On the evening of 22 February 2017, during the SRC chairperson election, a situation arose in which I made a bona fide error and misinformed those present as to the required number of votes to win the election.

After postponing the election and reflecting on a student court judgement where a similar situation had occurred some years ago, I realised the error I had made.

I accordingly informed the SRC of my mistake. I indicated an initial intention to declare Ms Nomzamo Ntombela as the new SRC chairperson but then rescinded this intention in order to take more time to consider the options available to me.

To aid myself in coming to a decision I convened a meeting between myself, Mr Romek Sadowski (the other candidate in the election), Ms Tonia Overmeyer, Dean of Students and Director of the Centre for  Student Leadership and Structures, and Prof Sonia Human, Dean of the Faculty of Law. Ms Ntombela was invited but declined to attend this meeting.

After considering all the options available to me, and after consulting the relevant experts, I have decided to retrospectively declare Ms Ntombela the winner of the election and thus the new SRc chairperson. I would like to congratulate Ms Ntombela and wish her well with her tenure as chair.

Kind regards
