Announcement of results for the 2024/25 Students’ Representative Council for the Bloemfontein and Welkom campuses

Dear CUT community,

The Central University of Technology, Free State (CUT) is a public higher education institution that is governed by the Higher Education Act, and subsequently the CUT Statute, as important governance frameworks. These frameworks recognise the establishment of a student governance structure that must be elected democratically by the bona fide students of CUT at the university’s respective campuses. This important task reaffirms CUT’s commitment to meet the obligation of the statutory and legislative directives on an annual basis.

As part of the institutional arrangements, the Student Affairs Division is tasked to work collaboratively with various stakeholders, both internally and externally, to facilitate the renewal of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC)’s mandate and structure by students. It is in this context that this online conversation with the Dean of Students is established, to convey a message of congratulations to the elected student leaders, and to thank the 41% of the student population that responded to this important civic call.

It also gives me pleasure to appreciate that all students who participated in the elections demonstrated discipline and respect for the democratic process, as we forge ahead to strengthen our systems to be formidable and more user friendly to students. It is in this regard that I take this moment to present the below letter to the university community, as we owe it to all, as mentioned, in inspiring openness and transparency. In conclusion, let me wish the newly elected Bloemfontein and Welkom SRCs a meaningful and impactful term of office, which would contribute significantly towards our pursuit of Vision 2030 and becoming a student centric university of technology in Africa.
