Jovial incumbent SRC president and Sasco presidential candidate Bamanye Matiwane thanked students for entrusting him with power for a second term.
“It is not something that was not expected that we were going to win the elections‚ but nonetheless we are very happy‚ and we want to say to students we are still committed.
“We are going to make sure that we achieve and we fulfil all of our promises so that students can get whatever it is that they want.”
Matiwane said he would focus on transforming the institution’s sports and facilities and estates department.
“We are going to make sure students are in the front and Sasco must [will] lead them‚” he said.

“I can’t comment on the results yet before the DA statement on them. It [the statement] will be released [later] today or tomorrow morning [Friday]‚” he said.
