This is the official page of SASCO; Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. The South African Student Congress (SASCO) was formed in September 1991 at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, through the merger of the South African National Student Congress (SANSCO) and the National Union of South African Students (NUSAS). The predecessor of SANSCO, the Azanian Students Organisatio

n (AZASO) was initially formed in 1979 as a continuation of the South African Students Organisation (SASO) when the latter was banned by the Apartheid government. SASO, in turn, got started by Steve Biko as a breakaway faction rom NUSAS in the 1960s. Today, SASCO is the biggest student movement in Africa. It organizes students in institutions of higher learning striving for the transformation of not just institutions of higher learning but the whole system in order to achieve a non-sexist, non-racial, working class biased and democratic education system. It seeks to ensure the destruction of capitalist relations of production and the ushering of a socialist society. It champions the interests of students and seeks to ensure access and success in these institutions, by fighting for (1) more and better accommodation, (2) more computer labs, (3) more and better equipped libraries, (4) lower costs of education etc. SASCO achieves seeks to achieve these through mobilizing the broadest sections of students and rallying them behind the call for FREE HIGHER EDUCATION.

The South African Student Congress is calling on all students residing in Summerstrand to take part in our morning run wellness.

As students navigating the current writing period, we want to create a space where we can take a break, connect, support one another, and prioritise our mental well being.

We do not want a repeat of the devastating incidents of previous years where students lost their lives due to overwhelming academic stress. Remember, your life is worth more than a mark, and you are not alone.

As part of the morning run, 5 students will also stand a chance to win FREE registration for the Colour Run happening on the 29th of this month with TAM! 🌈🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️

Come through, bring a friend, and let’s support each other through this writing period while promoting a healthier and happier student community.

The South African Students Congress notes the recent email from our toxic Jonas stating that re exams will now commence from the 8th of July until the 14th of July.

Management must stop behaving as if they have a combined IQ lower than a warm day in Lesotho and make sober logical decisions.

We reject the 8th of July we want the entire week so that students can prepare for exams at the best of their abilities. We demand 5 working days or more. We don't want to be rushed we are sensitive people by nature we might make alot of mistakes.

We encourage students to use this time to prepare well for their re-exams and fight for those qualifications.

The South African Students Congress is of the view that whosoever decides on the academic calendar is someone who once failed statistics as a module because of the lack of analyzing.

Students are in a toxic relationship with the institution, not even Jonas and Joyce's relationship can be this toxic.

It is rather absurd to understand as to how can the final results be published on Friday and Re-Exams are expected to commence in 2 days. Students would have to make travel arrangements in the eleventh hour to be able to rewrite their exams, while bus and flight tickets have been skyrocketed.

Final results should have at least been published on the 30th of June and then supplementary exams commence on the 6th of July which would provide a whole week cushion to ensure students make necessary arrangements and most importantly study effectively for their exams. These quick in a hurry type of arrangement is nonsensical to the nearest nonsense.

The short notices that are equivalent to operation Barbarossa can never be correct knowing the lived realities of most students of which is that for them to be able to travel from home to campus a sheep must be sold, or money has to be borrowed.

Management is deliberately and directly prolonging students from graduation. The toxicity of this marriage between students and management must be stopped, we cannot continue to suffer from the hands of NMU. This must never ever happen again!
