Stellenbosch University obtains interdict against protesters
21 September 2016
Cape Town - Stellenbosch University has obtained a court interdict against students protesting over university fees, spokesperson Martin Viljoen confirmed on Wednesday.
This comes after some students across the country, including a group at Stellenbosch's main campus and its medical school in Tygerberg, rejected Higher Education and Training Minister Blade Nzimande's fee structure for 2017.
A group called #Feesmustfall Stellenbosch 2.0 posted earlier on Facebook that about 30 students had been served with an interdict and told to leave the Lilian Ngoyi auditorium, where they have been gathering as part of their protest.
They occupied the main library on September 16 to highlight their stance on university fees and their demand for decolonised education. They were removed by security guards.
