Pretoria – Heavily armed police intervened in the CBD on Thursday as South African Students Congress (Sasco) members, on a protest march to the Department of Higher Education, became unruly.

Police and education officials were pelted with eggs as the assembled students received messages of support from trade unions and other organisations outside the department’s offices on Francis Baard Street. Police officers stood guard outside the main entrance, whose doors had been closed as the protesters approached.
