After attempting to meet with University of Johannesburg (UJ) management, more than 100 students led by the South African Students Congress (Sasco) and the Economic Freedom Fighters Student Command (EFF SC) marched along Kingsway Avenue and blocked University Road outside the Auckland Park campus.
The students said they are demanding free and decolonised education, and for all students to be allowed to register. They want the UJ Vice-Chancellor, Tshilidzi Marwala, and the Minister of Higher Education, Blade Nzimande, to answer them.
“The universities are not going to operate until they meet our terms,” said a UJ student and Sasco member. The student said they will disrupt face-to-face lectures and online lectures.
