EFF Tuks secretary Jaco Oelofse said that although the societies may differ in their political views they can still work together to fight for a common cause. He added that the issue of the lack of African knowledge at UP needs to be addressed. Some of the attendees agreed and affirmed that there needs to be transformation of the syllabus to include more African literature
EFF Tuks revealed that they did make an attempt to form a plan with Sasco prior to the SRC elections to form a collective voting power, but this was denied by the upper structures of both parties. Junior Ackotia from Sasco emphasised that there should be unity among students. “There is no revolution that can be fought on an individual basis,” he said.
It was decided at the forum meeting that there is a chance for the political societies that were present to work together without compromising boundaries of national political dynamics. Students and societies present also questioned the Blackface incident and what the university has done so far.
Toward the end of the forum meeting a communication structure was established which comprises of representatives from the present societies and several independent individuals.
This was seen as a plan of action and a way in which the members will give each other information regarding their plans to fight racism at UP.
