"The city is becoming ungovernable" - TUT student
Students from the Tshwane University of Technology on Wednesday marched to the institution's Arcadia campus from the Pretoria West campus.
Classes were suspended minutes after they were expected to resume this morning.
Students barricaded the gates to the university's Pretoria West and GaRankuwa campuses in their demand for free higher education.
Student activist Vusi Mahlangu said classes should not resume.
"We are calling on them to shut down, give us busses and march with us to demand free higher education. It's as simple as that. We are not fighting with them, we are fighting for free education. The more they resist, the more they provoke students," he said.
Another protesting student said they have taken to the streets after their received no feedback from TUT management on the memorandum they handed over.
Police have fired rubber bullets to disperse protesters.
