UPDATE: Situation under control at Ekurhuleni East College – EMPD member
The students protested for a second day at the college on April 18 because they were under the impression that a meeting would be held between themselves and the DCM on April 17.
EFF members and a PAC member stood their ground outside the gates of the college after asking the driver of a fire truck to leave.
The fire truck was called on because a tyre was burnt outside the gate to get the attention of the college heads.
One member of the EFF was upset that some learners were let through the gates while those who were protesting were not.
The protesters demand answers from the DCM about their registration fees.
“We were told he would talk to us at 11am, then at 1pm yesterday (April 17), but he did not pitch at all,” learners shouted.

Protesters said they do not want to cause any trouble, they just want answers but find it unethical of the DCM to give his word that a meeting would be held and then to not arrive for the meeting.
