JOHANNESBURG – While students and workers arrested for protesting at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) have now been released, they say they are angry at the manner in which their struggle has unfolded. 

 
According to the police’s Tsekiso Mofokeng, all 141 protestors were released today on a warning on condition they appear at the Brixton Magistrates Court on Monday. 
 
They were detained for contravening a court order prohibiting protests at the Kingsway campus during exams. 

A student says they demands have been very simple. 

“There is a lot of anger and the manner in which the struggle has drawn out wasn’t expected. We are angry about how the demands are being ignored. We are angry because we are being referred to as a minority, we are not a minority.”
