Students are expected to protest outside the Durban Magistrate's Court ahead of the appearance of Durban University of Technology student activist - Bonginkosi Khanyile.

He says students, through lawyers provided by the EFF, have filed papers in the Durban High Court appealing Khanyile's failed bail application.
This matter will be in court next week.
"We are hoping that the High Court will rule in our favour. It's something that affects the whole society. If we keep quiet today - this issue will escalate and more arrests will take place. Suppression and unjust arrest happening currently must not be allowed," he said.
