In August, Khanyile was found guilty of four of the 13 counts levelled against him after his arrest during a 2016 protest at DUT.   

 This in accordance with an agreement with the State and after making a series of admissions that, in effect, saw him confess to the charges of public violence, being in possession of a dangerous weapon and failing to comply with a police officer's orders.  

The remaining charges have since been abandoned.
