UCT students, staff not on the same page at Parliament protest
22 September 2016
Cape Town - Protesting UCT students have told staff that they should join them in their demand for "free, decolonised education", or they would not be joining the staff protest.
UCT staff organised a protest outside Parliament on Thursday to demand more funding for the sector and an end to the fees crisis.
Students from UCT and Stellenbosch, however, joined the crowd outside Parliament, accused staff of being hypocritical.
They said staff had remained silent when students were being "brutalised" by private security, as well as interdicted and expelled by management.
