Cosatu receives memorandum from Wits students
Updated | By JacarandaFM News
Protesting Wits students are calling on Cosatu to support their call for free, quality higher education.
They marched to Cosatu House in Johannesburg on Friday to hand over a memorandum.
Students say free higher education is not only an issue affecting them, but one that has an influence on the working class in general.
They are adamant that they are no longer interested in discussing fee increases and that higher education should be free.
Cosatu's General Secretary, Bheki Ntshalitsali accepted the memorandum.
"We are working with the students. We don't want to make decisions without their involvement. We will be meeting with their leadership and we are meeting as the Top 6 on Monday and thereafter we will be able to indicate and communicate in practical terms where we stand on these issues," he said.
