MBABANE:Princess Tfobile Gumedze, the Director of Limkokwing University of Creative Technology(LUCT) and her Musa Sibandze Attorneys failed to secure a court order, seeking to ‘kickout’ striking Lecturers.

The Limkokwing lawyers had ran to court demanding that, the Lecturers must not be allowed to protest inside the University premises.

“Interdicting the members of the 1st Respondent from demonstrating inside the Applicant’s premises and disrupt the on-going examinations”, reads the Notice of Motion filed by Limkokwing lawyer Banele Gamedze of Musa Sibandze Attorneys.

But Acting Industrial Court Judge Banele Ngcamphalala refused to grant the order expelling the Lecturers inside the University premises, instead she ordered that, both parties must agree on the time and the legal strike must continue to take place inside the premises of the University.

“The parties have agreed that the members of the 1st Respondent will sing between 08:00am and also between 12:15pm to 13:45pm. The parties have further agreed that the members of the 1st Respondent will assemble in front of House 2 and march towards the gate and march towards the administration block. The designated area is the emergency point next to the multi-purpose hall”, reads the court order in part issued on Friday.

The strike continues even this week, the Lecturers are demanding among others, Cost of Living Adjustment(COLA), the end of employment on short term contracts and victimization of employees who express themselves against injustice by the Management.
