SOUTH AFRICA; Student protest intensifies

Police in South Africa have dispersed a group of students protesting over high tuition fees as part of a nationwide demonstration.

On Tuesday, police used stun grenades and arrested several students at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.

The students were arrested for contravening a court order which has barred them from gathering in groups of more than 15 on campus.

The protesting students are demanding free education for all, despite the government’s proposal of a tuition hike of up to eight percent.
