Expelled Rhodes University former student Yolanda Dyantyi has been granted leave to appeal a high court judgment refusing to set aside the disciplinary conviction that led to her expulsion.
Dyantyi was rusticated in 2017 after being found guilty in a disciplinary hearing of kidnapping, assault, insubordination and defamation during the so-called "Rhodes Reference List" anti-rape protests in 2016.
She failed in her Grahamstown high court to have both her disciplinary conviction and permanent exclusion from the university set aside.
However in a recent turn of events, Dyantyi has been granted leave to appeal this judgement.
