Bonginkosi Khanyile takes bail bid to ConCourt
Student activists have made their way to Johannesburg to support Bonginkosi Khanyile as he petitions the Constitutional Court for his release.
The jailed DUT student has been denied bail several times following his arrest in February last year - following countrywide fees protests.
Khanyile - who's been behind bars since September - is facing eight charges including public violence, illegal gathering and inciting violence.
