Johannesburg - Protesting Wits studentsâ plan to destroy the Minersâ Monument in Braamfontein were thwarted when police quickly swooped in and confiscated the rope they were using to pull down the statue.
The students, who have been protesting since last week over issues of funding and blocked roads with burning tyres, turned their anger to the statue, near the Johannesburg City Council. They tied a rope around then pulled it, trying to bring it down. However, the statue did not budge.

Earlier today, students were seen putting ropes around a statue on de Korte Street. They also set fire to the base of the monument, but ultimately, failed to remove it from its plinth. Police officers intervened, and dispersed the crowds.
However, many are wondering why the statue itself has been subjected to violence and vandalism. The Miners’ Monument celebrates the contribution made by the gold mining industry to national wealth. It’s branded as a ‘celebration of the workers’, and after being unveiled in 1964, has served as tribute to the grafters who built South Africa’s economic pillar. ....
