Examinations went off without a hitch at the University of Cape Town yesterday, though there were reports of students barricading roads and burning tyres. As some students marched to parliament, hoping to be addressed by President Jacob Zuma, UCT executives, including vice-chancellor Max Price, met representatives of trade union Nehawu to discuss "developments around negotiations for the ending of the outsourcing" of labour on campus.UCT spokesman Kylie Hatton said the meeting was disrupted by 150 protesters "who were not members of the senate".She said the behaviour of the protesters was "worrying" because they "seem to have no interest in discussion, debate or negotiation. They do not allow for any conversation but seem to be simply interested in disruption."Earlier in the day students from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology and the University of the Western Cape gathered outside parliament, where they refused to be addressed by Thulas Nxesi, the acting minister of higher education and training.The students booed and cursed, and told Nxesi, who was surrounded by police officers, to "shut up" as he tried to speak."The president is away in Germany on a state visit," said Nxesi.The students then marched to Cape Town railway station, where they took a train to UCT.Said one student: "They [university management] told us that if we are caught protesting we will be expelled. I'm not scared."Students have been given the option to write their exams now or in January. The option remains open until November 27.Examinations also started at UWC, where students were given the option of starting their exams on November 16.In Johannesburg, over 100 supporters protested outside the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court, where students and workers from the University of Johannesburg appeared.Charges were withdrawn against the 141 students and workers arrested during last week's protests...
