Johannesburg - As Wits students continue to protest for free education, they are also calling for apartheid legacy statues to be removed from the city.
Students took matters into their own hands as they attempted to remove a gold mining statue outside the City of Joburg’s offices in Braamfontein.
Several students attempted to tear down The Miners’ Monument , with demonstrators telling the media that the act of destruction was a symbolic gesture to ‘decolonise education’.
