The Democratic Alliance Student Organisation (DASO) thanks the students of Nelson Mandela University for voting in large numbers to re-elect DASO to lead the university’s Student Representative Council (SRC).
Momentum continues to build behind the DA across South Africa, on campuses, in Wards, Municipalities and Provinces. This growth bodes very well for the DA in Nelson Mandela Bay.
NMU students have reaffirmed their strong support for the good governance and stability delivered by the DA on campus, where our Student Organisation has delivered over the past year.
DASO’s Somila Komani was elected as SRC president. We won four out of five NMU campuses, secured representation in all seven faculties, gained the majority of off-campus student seats, and received the highest number of votes overall – claiming 31 of the 43 seats.
The DA extends our gratitude to all NMU students for their support in this election, and to all our activists who worked tirelessly throughout the campaign to secure this victory.
DASO also thanks our outgoing NMU SRC President, Lathitha Mbuzwana, and his team, whose hard work made this result possible.
We have full confidence in this new generation of young leaders and look forward to the positive change they will bring during their term. The DA charges them to deliver on our manifesto promise to deliver good governance and leadership which can be trusted.
DASO believes that an effective SRC must be accessible, responsive, transparent, and accountable to the student body, ensuring that no student is left behind. Momentum and growth are on the side of the DA, and with the trust of the electorate the DA will deliver.
