Wits students hurl rocks at security guards
20 September 2016
Johannesburg - Protesting Wits students clashed with security guards outside the steps of the institution's Great Hall on Tuesday afternoon.
Students hurled rocks and chunks of concrete at guards, who hid behind shields. Some guards retaliated and threw the rocks back at the students, while one used a fire extinguisher to disperse some of them.
Windows and glass doors leading into the hall were damaged by the rocks, which lay strewn across the steps.
The students were demanding access to Senate House, which they have renamed Solomon Mahlangu House.
