JOHANNESBURG - Wits senior management have been locked in talks over student demands to have historical debt scrapped.
Protests turned violent in Braamfontein on Monday after a female student was shot and wounded.
The police said that none of their members deployed in the area fired any shots during the protest, adding that only a smoke grenade and water cannons were used.
#NationalShutdown Police are hoping to interview the woman who was wounded during the protest in Braamfontein yesterday. Students claim she was shot by police officers, but the SAPS denies this.— EWN Reporter (@ewnreporter) March 16, 2021
