Protesting students have barricaded the entrance to the campus with burning tyres as part of the students’ national action to protest against financial exclusion.

Students wearing regalia of their student movements such as the Economic Freedom Fighters Student Command, South African Students Congress (Sasco) and Abantu Batho Congress (ABC) are gathering outside the university’s main entrance.

Police are manning all the roads leading to the university as they remain closed. Traffic officials are also on site and traffic has been re-routed to alternative routes.

Students say they remain resolute on their call for all students to be allowed to register.

Most universities and colleges across the country have been protesting since the start of the 2021 academic year against financial exclusion.
