Komane said their track record in putting the interests of students first speaks for itself, and a fourth term was inevitable because, for the past three years in office, they managed to change the lives of many students.

He added that they will continue with their plans to deal with issues of safety for students, work on resolving maintenance issues on campus, and address issues of funding for students who have challenges with the National Student Financial Aid Scheme.
