Four Wits students arrested after disrupting classes

Four Wits University students have been arrested for contravening a court interdict by causing disruptions to the academic programme.

The first student was arrested and suspended on Monday and taken to Hillbrow Police station. Three others were arrested on Tuesday.

According to Time Live Wits acquired the interdict from the Gauteng High Court in April 2016 during #FeesMustFall protests to stop protesters from damaging university property and engaging in unlawful behaviour.
