Summarised Manifesto

Favourite Leadership Quote:

To believe is not enough, you must act on that belief. The role of the Student Representative Council is to champion the needs of students and challenge against all forms of exclusion. Institutions of Higher Learning are meant to provide a space of academic and social growth, and one’s financial status should not be a hindrance that will prevent them from accessing this space. Transformation starts with the eradication of the financial and academic insecurity of the black child at Wits.

"A good objective of leadership is to help those who are doing poorly to do well and to help those who are doing well to do even better."

Summarised Manifesto

Hi I’m Lucia Makoloko, I’m a 3rd Film and TV student. Currently in the Wits School of Arts Student Council as the Media Officer. Thank you for taking time to read my manifesto. I have set a goal for myself the past year, which has been to make a change and not just within my class or department but within the entire institution. I believe that an institution should have a working and stable support system, one that students can depend on especially those with mental health issues.

My plan to improve your student experience to create and work towards building that support system for student especially those who are introverted.

My plan is to stand for all. I intend to serve.

As the Socialist Youth Movement, we hold that a united working class and only a united working class - can collapse the mutually-reinforcing tenets of an unjust system, delivering free, quality, decolonised education for all and the cancellation of student debt.

Summarised Manifesto

The SRC cannot operate as a fundraising office while systemic injustices are unaddressed. Donation-based ‘solutions’ to our interlocking crises are unsustainable. We urgently require a programmatic intervention in the trajectory of our society. Our task extends beyond understanding the realities we face.

“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future.

Besides, it took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen.”

Summarised Manifesto

Your voice matters and your concerns are valid. I believe It is important to brighten the corner that you’re in, no matter how small it may be. Your voice and your vote carry power and are catalysts for change. Through my actions in previous leadership and mentoring positions, I have always aspired to better the lives of the individuals that I serve. I want to inspire other students to dream more, learn more, do more and become more.

My passion is to serve everyone to the best of my ability. I believe I am well suited to serve in the gender and transformation office because I seek to fight for a future that is intersectional and one that is inclusive of all. I believe that everyone should be afforded the opportunity to stand firm in being themselves in an environment that promotes inclusivity, and protects while promoting their diverse interests.

My name is Nthabeleng Thulo a BA graduate and 3rd year LLB student, also interning at the Gauteng Provincial Government. I believe engagement between the office of the SRC and administrative body of the university should always put the best interests of its students first.

Summarised Manifesto

My manifesto will include issues relating to mental health issues on our campuses, funding and accommodation as well as marginalisation.

It is my goal and intention to use all the resources available to me and my position and access to make sure that the needs of our fellow student community are met.

I am Nicola, a second year clinical associate student. My Wits journey took me via Biomedical Science, but my new destination is allowing me to live out my passion of providing needed medical care to communities in a hands on way.

Summarised Manifesto

Wits has allowed me to grow as a leader, and I have successfully dealt with many difficult situations, remotely and in person over the last two years as BCMP class rep.

Inclusivity is very important to me. Students need a voice and no student should feel, or be, left behind. I want to help achieve this at Wits.

Final Hello fellow students and Wits Community

We live and study in times where we need each other more than ever before and SRC is a reliable vehicle to forge such relations. The student movement is the bedrock which ensures that students are not relegated to a mere passive participant status but an important stakeholder in their learning journey who do not only represent themselves but also societies that produced them.

Summarised Manifesto

These are unprecedented times! Covid 19 pandemic has taught us too many lessons. This is to say, we can no longer do things the way we used to. This requires a swift change across all facets of our life, be it Policy, Curriculum, learning methods and etcetera. The impact on socio-economic status of many people has shown that indeed the global world is in a state of flux. As such, there is a need for policies that are responsive to the challenges of the day, to achieve that, the unity of the student movement is sacrosanct. I bring fresh new ideas coupled with both experience and academic acumen to help us address challenges faced by vast majority of our fellow students today.

Summarised Manifesto

I’m an MBBCh3 student and current Health Science representative on the Post Graduate Association. In my tenure as a Health Science student occupying various student leadership roles, I have noted a need for the representation of the faculty at SRC level. This necessitates that a Health Science student sit on the SRC for, and I believe my experience allows for me to provide this representation.

My tenure as a member of the PGA has provided exposure to the postgraduate committee and thus I hold knowledge of its intricacies, which would allow me to represent the interests of the postgraduate community.
