FIRST QUARTER STUDENT FORUM COLLAPSES Correction

A member may raise a point of order at any time during student forum proceedings. Points of order are governed by Rule 11 of the Rules for Student Forum. However, these terms are often used in the same manner that members of the national assembly (parliament) use them.

In the article “A night outside the palace - SRC leads a demonstration against the nsfas accommodation cap” published in issue 2 (10 March) of PDBY, we cited statements from Shaina Moses and incorrectly attributed them to Moses Modisane. All statements from “Moses” referred to Shaina Moses and not Moses Modisane.

In the same article it was indicated that Francois du Plessis, with the SRC Residences portfolio, confirmed that the UP residences didn’t partake in the demonstration due to political involvement in these protests. Although this was confirmed by external sources, Du Plessis did not personally confirm this to the newspaper. The correction was made on all digital versions of the article.

PDBY strives to produce accurate content in accordance with the South African Press Code and duly provide this correction.
