March set for release of Fees Must Fall activist Bonginkosi Khanyile
Anglican priest Vernon Hammond will lead the Free Bonginkosi Khanyile march to the US Embassy in Durban
Students in Durban will leave lecture halls on Wednesday afternoon and join religious leaders in a march aimed at having detained student Bonginkosi Khanyile released. Khanyile is the only Fees Must Fall activist still behind bars after last year’s protests. He has been denied bail several times. He was out on bail on another charge‚ dating back to February 2016‚ when he was arrested in September during often violent protests at the Durban University of Technology. He is being held in the Durban-Westville prison. Anglican priest Vernon Hammond‚ who supports the Fees Must Fall protests‚ will lead the Free Bonginkosi Khanyile march to the US Embassy in Durban on Wednesday.
