Support outside court for EFF student
19 January 2017
Durban - There was a small contingent of supporters for Fees Must Fall student Bonginkosi Khanyile ahead of his pre-trial conference at Durban Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
Khanyile has enjoyed a large support base since his arrest during Fees Must Fall protests at the Durban University of Technology (DUT) in September last year. He has been denied bail for contravening a previous court order.
EFF-affiliated Khanyile has been behind bars since September 27, and faces eight charges ranging from public violence to an illegal gathering; trespassing and inciting violence.
Khanyile had appealed the decision by the Durban Magistrate's Court to deny him bail in both October and November last year.
