According to post on twitter 20 buses filled to capacity with students from UL left early this morning en route to the Union Building for the #FEESMUSTFALL protest.
According to Citizen the students chanted “Zuma must fall” and “Blade must fall” on Friday morning. There was a heavy police presence at the Union Building as tens of thousands joined the protests as they waited for President Jacob Zuma to convey that there should be no increase in tuition fees in 2016.
