Nothing calms a situation quite like Julius Malema threatening to start a fight, hey? The EFF leader has taken to social media, in a bid to offer his support to the students taking part in the Wits protests. Youngsters are demonstrating against the university – and now the police – due to issues over funding and SAPS brutality.
The firebrand politician has offered his services to the student groups, who have blockaded roads and made a firm stand of solidarity on Thursday. The death of a bystander at the hands of a police officer yesterday infuriated demonstrators, and President Ramaphosa blasted the SAPS response during a public address on Thursday.
