Wits proposes new med school admission policy

On Monday night, Habib asked: “Why should billionaire Patrice Motsepe’s child take precedence over a poor white child?” Frans Cronje, CEO of the SA Institute of Race Relations, agreed with Habib’s proposal.

“This is a progressive move and we support Habib. Black does not equal disadvantaged.”

The University of Cape Town also has teams investigating admission polices for all UCT degrees to ensure that it takes students who have a disadvantaged background without relying solely on race.
