Memorial service for TUT student underway
A memorial service is underway in Soshanguve for the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) student who was killed in a Fees Must Fall protest last week.
Benjamin Phehla died after he was hit by a car.
His friend, Kgabo Melifi says Phehla's death is a sign that the fees revolution must be intensified.
"This is not a task for students alone. It's our task, it's our political task together with the leadership of the university. There are professors that are present here," says Melifi.
