My heart is broken by those who want lectures to continue - Wits student
5 October 2016
Johannesburg - Mixo Machebe, a 24-year-old Wits humanities student, said his heart has been broken by students who want to return to lectures.
Machebe, who says he is facing financial exclusion, was sitting on the steps of the Great Hall on Wednesday wearing a bright yellow reflective jacket and navy blue pants with a tear on the seat. His toes had pierced their way through his Lacoste sneakers.
However, Machebe said he hopes the situation for people like him is resolved soon so he can go back to class.
"I am not failing. If you had to see my academic transcript is clean. I got distinctions and I also want to return to class, but we need free education," he told News24.
