We want a #Shackville TRC - UCT students
Cape Town - Hundreds of UCT students moved through lecture halls and computer labs on Thursday afternoon enforcing a 48-hour university shutdown in protest against #FeesMustFall-related disciplinary action.
They called on their peers to leave all buildings as they sang and danced.
In a packed mass meeting on upper campus, various student leaders had shared their unhappiness over the suspensions, expulsions and interdicts against their peers.
A disciplinary tribunal had been held earlier in the day for three students linked to #Shackville protests earlier this year.
In February, students erected a shack on upper campus as a symbol of the struggle for student housing and financial exclusions.
