Fees Must Fall leader Mcebo Dlamini says police misrepresented his age to embarrass him. The student leader - who is appearing in the Johannesburg Magistrates Court on four charges‚ including assaulting a police officer - said his age was deliberately captured incorrectly.Reading out an affidavit in court on Tuesday‚ his lawyer Mongezi Ntanga said Dlamini was born in 1986.“The confusion around my age was meant to embarrass me‚” according to the affidavit.Police announced‚ following his arrest at a University of the Witwatersrand residence on Sunday‚ that he is 32-years-old. This is incorrect‚ and he said in his affidavit that he is 30.Dlamini‚ who is applying for bail‚ has been detained at the Cleveland police station.State prosecutor Steven Rubin said part of the evidence against Dlamini is incriminating video footage which shows the student leader assaulting a police officer.The state has opposed bail on the basis that Dlamini might flee to Swaziland where he was born. Dlamini‚ however‚ said he has no intention to evade justice‚ stating that his mother‚ who works for the university and was at court on Tuesday‚ would be responsible for his whereabouts. The student leader stated that it would be career-damaging for him to skip the country.He also said that as a post-graduate LLB student‚ he wants to help the court with the case. He added that he is not in contact with any state witness‚ which means he can not intimidate them.Dlamini also said he is a father of two young children‚ the youngest being four months old.He denied the allegations that he had assaulted a police officer‚ and also claimed not to have contravened a court interdict obtained by Wits against the protests.The court was filled to capacity with fellow students in attendance‚ including former Wits SRC president Shaeera Kalla.As the court adjourned for a short break‚ a composed Dlamini raised his fist in the air to his fellow students‚ who returned the gesture. – TMG Digital..
