Dlamini, who is a vocal leader in the 'Fees Must Fall' protests, was arrested at Wits early on Sunday morning.


He appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrates Court this morning on several charges, but the matter has been postponed to tomorrow for a formal bail application.


The state has indicated that it will oppose bail.


Dlamini was taken back to the cells at the Cleveland Police Station.


Dlamini's legal representative, Mongezi Ntanga, explains the charges against the student leader.


Fellow student leader Shaeera Kalla calls the charges ludicrous.
