Students protest at UJ campus over fees

Students protest at UJ campus over fees

A small group of protesters gathered outside the University of Johannesburg's Doornfontein campus Monday afternoon as part of the 'Fees Must Fall' movement.

The group, which also included high school pupils, sang and marched by the campus under the watchful eye of police.


A member of the group addressed students waiting for buses, telling them they will not allow any more buses to pick up or drop off students in front of the university, also urging them to participate in the shutdown.


The students were told "you are either with us, or you are with us".


Later in the afternoon the group started to make its way up the street with police following on foot. 



Moments later officers attempted to disperse the crow - leaving frightened primary school children on their way home running to get out of the way. 


Officers could be heard telling them to go home.


The group of protesters dispersed, but media was told the leadership would meet and decide on their next move.
