Too late to give up: student leaders
Student leaders at Wits say it's too late to give up the fight for free education.
Several students appeared in court today, including student activist Mcebo Dlamini.
Dlamini is facing several charges, including public violence and will be back the Johannesburg Magistrates Court for a formal bail application tomorrow.
A crackdown by police on protesting student have seen a raft of arrests being made.
Dlamini was arrested in his res room in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Wits student leader Shaeera Kall believes the arrests of student leaders is part of an agenda to delegitimise them.
"I won't be hiding like a rat. I'll be taking my precautions. I haven't been staying at the same place every night. But at the same time, I can't be expected to not just do anything, because then it's as good as languishing in a prison cell and being useless to the movement," she said.
Fellow student leader Vuyani Pambo says no amount of arrests or jail time will stop the movement.
