The Democratic Alliance Students Organisation (Daso) win at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University SRC elections last night signals a major shift in student politics in the Eastern Cape.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to the incoming SRC DA President, Yusuf Cassim, and his team of dedicated student leaders.<\/p>\n
It was 30 years ago that the Progressive Federal Party youth last won student elections in 1981 at the then UPE.<\/p>\n
Due to pressure from conservative forces, they were forced out and there was no SRC during 1982.<\/p>\n
This victory highlights the importance of a long term vision for South Africa\u2019s future.\u00a0 Thirty years later, through persistence and commitment, we have won the SRC elections.<\/p>\n
The Democratic Alliance is committed to building a new majority in South Africa so we can implement our vision of an open opportunity society for all.<\/p>\n
This historic victory is an important milestone on that journey.<\/p>\n
