The South African Democratic Students Movement (Sadesmo) would like condemn the intimidation of its members at the Durban University of Technology (DUT), the IFP student movement said today. 

"It is unthinkable that after so many years of democracy in South Africa, there are political organisations that are still being harassed when conducting their campaigns," said Ntuthuko Majozi, Sadesmo National Deputy President. 

He added: "The Sadesmo office at the campus was recently broken in to and four SADESMO members have received death threats." 

According to Ntuthuko, who is also an SRC member at DUT, the problem started when Sadesmo intensified their campaign at the DUT residences.  

"The motive of the break-in was definitely political." 

In conclusion Mr Ntuthuko said: "We urge the University to ensure proper security during the elections in the beginning of October. We don't want a repeat of last year's events where hooligans destroyed ballot papers."
