TO: All Students
SUBJECT: Update on Campus Safety and Security Measures
DATE: 26 May 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE;
Revolutionary greetings to the student community.
The EFFYC Alice Branch, together with the EFFYC-led SRC, is pleased to inform students that significant progress has been made in advancing campus safety and strengthening security measures across the University of Fort Hare Alice Campus.
Following ongoing engagements and interventions around student safety, we have successfully ensured that additional safety precautions are now being implemented in areas that have been identified as vulnerable and high risk to students.
As part of these efforts, security cameras have now been installed across various parts of campus to improve surveillance, monitoring, and rapid response to incidents.
Importantly, fencing has also been installed at the back of Student Village Residence near East Camp, an area that has long raised serious safety concerns among students. This intervention follows the tragic incident that took place in that area last year, where a student sadly lost their life. We have remained firm that such incidents must never be repeated, and that student safety must be treated with the urgency it deserves.
These developments mark an important step towards creating a safer campus environment for all students. We further want to assure students that EFFYC will continue to push for additional security interventions, particularly inside student residences.
It remains our position that residences must have fully functional security cameras operating 24/7, especially in residences where there are currently no stationed security guards. Student safety, dignity, and well being remain non negotiable.
EFFYC Alice Branch remains committed to ensuring that every student feels safe both on campus and in residence spaces. We will continue engaging with the university until all necessary safety measures are fully implemented and maintained.
Yours in struggle,
