Sonke Gender Justice congratulates Yolanda Dyantyi and Socio-Economic Rights Institute of South Africa (SERI-rights) on winning their case against Rhodes University on the expulsion of Ms. Dyantyi from the university. The Supreme Court of Appeal has set aside the guilty judgement by Rhodes University with costs.
It has been a long five years for Yolanda and her legal team since her exclusion from Rhodes University in 2017. Yolanda was found guilty of alleged kidnapping, insubordination, and defamation during the #RhodesReferenceList protests.
