The student representative council said the protests are on pause for 24 hours on condition the university removes private security and lifts suspension of students.
The management of Wits University and protesting student leaders appear to have hit a snag on the conditions they’ve set for a meeting meant to end the protests at the institution.
The Wits SRC is expected to meet with officials from the Department of Higher Education and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme in another bid to resolve matters.
Despite marathon meetings at the weekend, students at the University of the Witwatersrand on Monday vowed to continue with their protests, saying Wits failed to adequately address their demands.
