@TazEssop14 @DASOWits @WitsSRC We support the #right2protest, but we condemn actions that violate the uni code of conduct.Mohammad Sayanvala

Some people mistake their #right2protest with a supposed right of disrupt and destruct…Mohammad Sayanvala

The rebut from SRC members and other tweeps, did not seem to take kindly to DASO’s criticism. 

@DASOWits don’t be on the wrong side of history, criticising @WitsSRC for the #right2protest is denying a Constitutional Right!Tasneem

But these people of DASO are annoying maan, what sort of nonsense have they written on that stupid poster…rha maan!!pamela mpumelelo

The DA shouldn’t even be called a Political Party. They’re like a nursery school for the ideologically bankrupt.Pearl Pillay
