While students continue with the Fees Must Fall protests, Wits spokesperson Shirona Patel says restrictions on the movement of students are also being relaxed following a protest free weekend.

 

As from today, Monday, 24 October 2016, students need to remain within their residences or areas of study from 1am - 5am. Should you wish to leave a learning venue during this period, you will be escorted back to your residence by Campus Control, who will be stationed outside these centres. These are temporary measures that are being progressively lifted as the situation stabilises," says Patel.

 

Meanwhile, four students who were arrested at the Medical campus on Friday last week, appeared at the Hillbrow Magistrates' Court today. 

 

They were released on R1000 bail each. 

 

Their case was postponed to 23 November.
