Rhodes University’s Student Representative Council president Gift Sandi has been arrested for attempted arson‚ but it’s not what you may think.
His arrest was disclosed by student publication Activate‚ which stated that he had legal representation and that the arrest was in Pretoria. The Heher fees commission was sitting in Irene‚ Tshwane‚ on Monday.
Lest you think the arrest was linked to campus protest action‚ however‚ it’s emerged on Twitter that Sandi may just have lost the plot after some partying with fellow student comrades.
Sizofunda ngenkani @LwaziPakade disclosed “no one knows what he was thinking“.
“Our comrade’s were with him. It happened in the hotel and everyone had to be evacuated due to the small fire he created.”
