Release students or else, ABM told

The 22 students, majority of whom were pursuing Diploma in Accounting and Finance, have engaged the services of Boko, Motlhala, Rabashwa, Ketshabile Attorneys instructing ABM University College registrar to write letters of release.

In a letter written to the college yesterday, the lawyers sternly warn that the refusal is unlawful and malicious. "It is calculated to frustrate the efforts engaged by the students and the Department of Student Placement to address the plight of these students," charged the letter. It says that the students' plight is a result of a clear breach of contractual obligations to the students and their sponsor on the part of ABM. It adds that it's a result of ABM's failure to remedy the breach when it was pointed to them.
