REVOLUTIONARY GREETINGS, COMRADES πŸ’š

A MESSAGE OF SOLIDARITY FROM UB STUDENT CONGRESS

UB Student Congress stands in unwavering solidarity with the SRC Minister of Justice, Cde Montlatsi Masalila, and supports his call for urgent intervention on the challenges confronting students. We support his intention to formally approach the Vice Chancellor, DTEF and FNB and demand concrete answers and action on the academic, financial and administrative grievances affecting students.

These are not mere inconveniences. They affect students' education, livelihoods and future. We cannot continue normalising institutional delays while students bare the consequences. Tomorrow, we therefore call upon students to answer to the Minister's call and wear black πŸ–€ as a symbol of solidarity with those affected and a peaceful demonstration that students are concerned, students are organised, and students demand change.

As Comrade Steve Biko taught, The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. We must therefore refuse complacency and refuse to be silenced by a system that thrives on our silence. Our voices, when united, become a force capable of demanding accountability and compelling institutions to confront the realities students face. We must never surrender our right to question, to organise and to demand better. Silence sustains the status quo; collective action challenges it.

Good day, Commissars of Consciencenes

Today we would like you to meet Comrade Mpho Rammapudi of Moono wa Baithuti, the serving UBSRC Minister of Academics.

Mpho Rammapudi was entrusted with the academic welfare of the student body after being elected by 1,007 students who placed their confidence in her capacity to represent, advocate for, and defend their academic interests. The mandate is not merely a title. It is a responsibility. It is a contract between the elected representative and the students who entrusted her with their vote.

The question now is, WHERE IS OUR MINISTER OF ACADEMICS? What is she doing to address Student Academic matters!? Is she shy to represent!? Is her fingers hurting to even jot down an update to UB students on academic matters!? What engagements so far has she had with relevant stakeholders to address student academic issues!? Or is it that the students of UB have run out of academic grievances!?

We ask this question on behalf of the UB Student populace, not out of malice, but out of principle for we believe that a mandate without accountability becomes nothing more than an ornament. The Moono wa Baithuti key motto last elections was , They said and we quote " We are not here to be a movement that only complains. We are here to be a movement that thinks, proposes and delivers. A movement that engages where necessary, pushes where required and ensures that the voices of students translates into real, material change" end of quote. Cde Mpho seems to be an opposing factor to their own motto, she seems to believe in rhetoric over action that's why maybe she is so expensive.

Now, the students did not elect Mpho to occupy a portfolio and do nothing about it. They elected a representative to occupy the frontline of their academic struggles.

1,007 students deserve answers, They deserve quality representation, not incompetency.

Thank You

Regards

Before we ask students to spend, perhaps we should first ask ourselves if we have done enough to ensure that they have what they are supposed to receive. First year Students are still struggling with FNB cards. Off Campus Students have 2 consecutive months receiving an allowance of P1770. Some Students have more than 2 months without receiving their allowances at all and yet Simply Piano becomes a priority!? Is this proof that we have an SRC that prioritizes Student entertainment over Student Welfare?

To be clear, this is not an argument against student entertainment. Students deserve recreation, social activities and a vibrant university experience, but an SRC must be judged by its priorities, particularly when students are facing pressing financial challenges. When students are still waiting for money they are entitled to receive, when some are receiving less than expected, and when first-years are struggling to access their allowances, it is legitimate to ask if WE HAVE AN SRC THAT PRIORITIZES STUDENT ENTERTAINMENT OVER STUDENT WELFARE. Leadership is not merely about organising events. Leadership is about identifying what matters most and acting accordingly

Before we ask students to buy tickets, let us first make sure they have the money they are supposed to have. Students need an SRC that fights for their welfare not one that becomes more efficient at asking them to spend while their legitimate concerns remain unresolved. The Piano can play but not when priorities are out of tune. The SRC must first deal with FNB Cards delays, it must account to missing allowances, help the students get what's theirs that's when we can go and enjoy the waters of immortality with money our pockets.

Let us act strategically

A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS WITH ONE STEP

Defeat has a way of testing not just our strength, but our belief in ourselves and in each other. After a challenging outcome in the UB SRC elections, it would have been easy to retreat, to question our purpose, or to lose sight of the vision that brought us together. But instead, we chose something different we chose to gather, to reflect, and to rise.

At a simple but meaningful bonding lunch, Boniface Bashi Blancha Mabeo reminded us of a truth that often gets lost in moments of disappointment: the first loss does not define you. It introduces you. It reveals your character, your resilience, and your willingness to keep going when the path becomes uncertain.

What we experienced was not the end of a journey, but the beginning of one. A journey that will demand patience, growth, unity, and above all, courage. Every great movement, every impactful leader, and every lasting change has been shaped by moments like these moments where giving up seemed easier, but pushing forward mattered more.

This is our first step.
We walk forward not as individuals discouraged by defeat, but as a collective strengthened by it. We carry with us the lessons learned, the bonds reinforced, and the fire to come back better, wiser, and more determined.

The road ahead may be long, but we have already begun. And that, in itself, is victory.
