SASSFE mourns the passing of one of its founding members, Mr Tiego Moseneke.

We send condolences to his family during this difficult time. It is not just us at SASSFE that have lost a pillar and exemplary leader, but South Africa as a whole.

From the student activists of the 1960s to today’s student leaders, each generation has helped shape higher education. Returning to @Wits_SRC, where I served as SRC President in 1999,reinforced a simple truth that progress is inherited, but so is the responsibility to advance it.

[SASSFE @SASSFE]
