Johannesburg - South African university students have vowed to not retreat or surrender, as ongoing protests over tertiary funding continues across the country, threatening a national shutdown.
There appears to be no end for student protests, as students vowed to continue the fight for free higher education, as a national shutdown at institutions of higher learning looms today.
The students are calling for historic debts to be scrapped and free registration for all students in 2021, among other demands.
Last week, a 35-year-old government employee Mthokozisi Ntumba, an innocent bystander, was killed when police fired rubber bullets during a student protest in Braamfontein.
