Mcebo Dlamini: #FeesMustFall fight continues
Wits Fees Must Fall leader Mcebo Dlamini says the fight for free education is continuing behind closed doors.
Dlamini is facing five criminal charges in connection with Fees Must Fall protests which were marred by violence last year.
He is set to be back in court in June, but his lawyers want the charges dropped.
Dlamini says Fees Must Fall leaders have met with the vice chancellors who have endorsed their model to fund higher education.
All that's left now - is to sit down with government and the private sector.
"We want to engage government so we can table the free higher education model as a White Paper and it can be presented before the budget speech.
"If government and Parliament rejects our proposal we won't be responsible for what will happen thereafter, but for now we are allowing processes to take place," Dlamini explains.
Dlamini also weighed in on the ANC succession debate while in court today.
