First SRC Circus at Wits

This year SRC election was one to be watched with confusion, brawls and cancelled events.

The parties registered to run for the 2016 SRC elections this year included the Wits Economic Freedom Fighters, Project W, the Progressive Youth Alliance (PYA) and Democratic Alliance Students Organisation (DASO).

Campaigning started off with a bang this year when the annual Student Representative Council (SRC) debate was cancelled after a fight broke out between parties.

The first official circus took place on Thursday and parties took turns discussing their memorandums for 2016 and students had the opportunity to question the candidates on the parties policies and topics that concern students at the moment.  

Here are some of the highlights of the event.
