Students remain resolute in their demand for free higher education while government has instituted a so-called fees commission to look into the best possible way forward.
Meanwhile, the Johannesburg Magistrates Court will today rule on #FeesMustFall leader Mcebo Dlamini's bail application.
Dlamini was arrested in the early hours of Sunday morning. He faces 5 charges that include assault, theft and malicious damage to property. Protesting students have accused the police of targeting leaders and jailing them in order to stifle the movement.
