Durban - EFF members were disappointed on hearing their #FeesMustFall hero Mcebo Dlamini, an ANC and Sasco student leader, was prevented from boarding a plane to Durban to protest with them when their member who has spent more than two months appeared in court yesterday.
Dlamini was supposed to arrive in Durban on Monday evening to protest for the release of Bonginkosi Khanyile, a Durban University of Technology student and EFF activist. However, EFF chairman at DUT Gazuzu Nduli, who was in contact with Dlamini, said police had told him at OR Tambo International Airport that his bail conditions did not allow him to leave Gauteng province.
Dlamini, a former SRC president at Wits University, was granted R2 000 bail last month after spending 37 days in prison in connection with leading student protests for free education.
Although he is a member of theANC and Sasco, Dlamini had vowed on Monday that he would be protesting with EFF members to demand Khanyile’s release.
