UWC Studenst Housing
Our residences are a healthy, academically active community made up of diverse individuals who are actively on their way to becoming entrepreneurially minded responsible citizens, scholars and leaders.
Each of you play a part in the success of our residence community. In choosing to live in our residences you have accepted an obligation: the opportunity to enjoy and maximally benefit from all opportunities available to you as well as to conduct yourself in ways that help other citizens to do the same.
UWC Residence Rules
The Bill of Rights (Chapter One, South African Constitution) guarantees that our human rights be respected and that it is defendable in a court of law. A human rights context though, suggests that there are strong community ties that help to ensure that the rights of all will be respected and that tolerance is shown when minding the rights of others – community members decide to tolerate and respect and are not purely governed by law. The Bill of Rights also suggests that with each right, comes responsibility.
The Bill of Human Rights echoes the spirit of Ubuntu– I am because we are and because we are, you are. We are people in the context of others.We can insist that others respect our rights, but we must also be tolerant of others’ rights.
Tolerance in the SA Constitution may be described as:
** Showing respect towards others
** Using negotiation and mediation techniques when there is a problem between two or more people
** Being patient and a good listener with other people
** Understanding that everyone has a right to an opinion
