In a notice, the SRC said it was"committed to protecting all student leaders who are implicated in the university’s intimidation tactics through ENS [the law firm that Wits uses]. The university claimed [it did not bring] legal action against the SRC which is deemed in the same breath as all the other propaganda narratives that have been continuously spread by the university’s senior executive team.
Students were suspended following footage taken of the protest on Thursday which turned violent. Friday saw similar action and Patel said there would be more suspensions. Meanwhile, staff from the National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union joined the protest, and demanded a 10% increase for Wits staff.
