EC students arrested in fees protest


Hundreds of students at Lovedale FET college in King Williams Town were arrested following a second day of protests.

Police spokesperson, captain Ernest Sigobe, says 128 students were arrested on Thursday on charges of public violence, malicious damage to property and intimidation.

They will appear in court on Monday.

The protest reportedly started on Wednesday when students learnt that they would not be receiving full bursaries from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme.

Lovedale College has called an urgent meeting at the College at 10 am on Monday where information on the financial aid scheme will be provided.
