Grahamstown -The debate about a name change at Rhodes University has not come up for debate, and as such will remain, Vice Chancellor Dr Sizwe Mabizela has said.
This week, students staged protests, asking questions about the slow pace of transformation and inclusivity at Rhodes, City Press reported.
They also pressured the university’s management to consider changing the name Rhodes, arguing that Cecil John Rhodes, after whom the university was named, stood for racism, plundering, white supremacy, colonialism, pillaging, dispossession and the deliberate oppression of black people.
