Student leaders cancelled a march to parliament to force President Jacob Zuma to release the fees commission report – because they had to study for exams.
The students‚ from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology‚ told TimesLIVE they believed Zuma would release the findings soon in any case.
One of the South African Students Congress leaders‚ Nomzamo Madalane‚ said: “Immediately after we released our [protest] poster on Friday afternoon there was a statement released by the presidency on Saturday‚ so we think they are aware of our demands.”
She said they had also informed the deputy minister of higher education about their demands. “He was hearing our call but he was a bit hesitant because of the situation currently happening at CPUT and he’s not sure about where we stand exactly. Are we disruptive? Are we the good side or the bad side?” she said.
