Wits to issue suspension orders against protesters

JOHANNESBURG – Management at Wits University says it’s in the process of issuing suspension orders against students who torched seats inside a lecture hall causing extensive damage.

Dozens of students from various universities descended on the Wits Braamfontein campus yesterday, disrupting classes.

They claim they have been excluded because they have not paid their fees.

The university management says it has strengthened security at its Braamfontein campus in case Fees Must Fall protesters hit back there this morning.

Wits suspends 5 students for violating court order

JOHANNESBURG – Wits University management says it’s already suspended five students for contravening a court order that the institution obtained against protests at its campuses.

Classes were disrupted at the Braamfontein campus yesterday due to demonstrations which also saw a lecture hall damaged.

The institution’s Shirona Patel says security is working with police to view CCTV footage to identify the culprits.

“We’re still in the process of trying to find out who the culprits are behind the fire in one of our buildings. We’ve opened a criminal case.”
