The Cabinet has expressed strong displeasure with the UFS’s decision to drop the university’s internal charges against the Reitz Four.

UFS vice-chancellor Jonathan Jansen must suspend his decision to drop a complaint against the ”Reitz Four”, the Ministry for Higher Education says.

Charges against four University of the Free State students over a racist incident have not been withdrawn, said vice-chancellor Jonathan Jansen.

Desmond Tutu has commended UFS vice-chancellor Jonathan Jansen for withdrawing charges against four students behind a videotaped racist incident.

The Reitz four. They could be a band. Or a singing troupe at the very least. You know — powder-blue suits, crèmed hair and toothy grins.
