Zuma hold talks with protesting students
Updated | By ECR Newswatch
President Jacob Zuma is due to meet with the management and leadership of varsities as well as student leaders tomorrow.
Consultative meetings will take place at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.
The Presidency says the discussions will be geared towards the stalemate with regards to university fee increases.
The Presidency says Zuma understands the pressure on students from poor and working class households.
This comes after students taking part in the #FeesMustFall campaign stormed the Parliamentary precinct during Nene's speech yesterday.
The Hawks have dismissed claims that six students arrested will be charged with treason.
They are due to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on charges of trespassing and contravening the Gatherings Act.
