Cape Town – Thirty-five UWC students have been denied bail in the Bellville Magistrate's Court on Friday.

The students were arrested during violent protests on campus this week.

#UWCSHUTDOWN tweeted that students will be held in Pollsmoor prison.

The protesters will now march back to campus for a meeting to decide the way forward.

The New Age reported that the court concluded that the case should be postponed to 28 October.

The state conceded that it needs seven days for more information and asked for remand of the case for next Friday to make a decision on whether students qualify for bail.

The university campus was on lockdown on Thursday and all class-based lectures have been suspended for the rest of the year.

UWC students submitted a detailed memorandum of demands last week.

Top of the list was a demand for free, quality, black-centred education, and no talks of feasibility or increments.

They wanted all student debts to be cleared, and the scrapping of registration and application fees

Is there a definition of this "black-centred education" available?

Wrong, they are not being held for protesting, they are being held for criminal acts such as arson and assault.

UWC steps in to support bail for protesters

Cape Town - #FeesMustFall protesters arrested for alleged public violence at the University of the Western Cape could be set free from Pollsmoor prison earlier than expected.

UWC director of legal services Shervaan Rajie told Weekend Argus on Saturday the institution had appealed for bail for the 25 students who appeared at the Bellville Magistrate’s Court on Friday.

In all 35 students were arrested on Wednesday but only 25 appeared in court, where they were denied bail and sent to Pollsmoor. They were set to appear for a bail hearing on Friday.

Concerned parents were left in tears and were concerned about the safety of their children in prison.

Rajie said UWC “negotiated with the NPA (National Prosecuting Authority) to bring forward the Friday date”.

“We asked them to speed up the process so the students can be processed by Monday or Tuesday.
