Morning Star.png Wits Votes to Restart Classes after Protests The Morning Star, London, 1 October 2016 Students at South Africa's third-oldest university voted overwhelmingly to return to lectures after violent protests forced its closure last week, ballot results showed yesterday. Johannesburg's University of the Witwatersrand said 77 per cent of the 21,730 students and staff who voted in its poll backed returning to classes on Monday. The university had been closed since Fees Must Fall protesters demanding a freeze on tuition fees attacked campus buildings, smashing windows and injuring a dozen security guards. One guard died of breathing difficulties after rioters let off fire extinguishers in one of the halls of residence. On Thursday the ruling ANC condemned the Democratic Alliance-Economic Freedom Fighters coalition running Johannesburg council after it withdrew city police support for the South African Police Service on university campuses. Meanwhile a fire broke out in the auditorium at the University of Johannesburg's Bunting Road campus during protests.
