The National Prosecuting Authority says it could not enrol the cases of the students arrested during the public protests at Wits University due to insufficient evidence.
Dissatisfied students took to the streets of Braamfontein, Johannesburg on Wednesday demanding that management still allow those with outstanding fees to register for the 2021 academic year.
NPA Regional Spokesperson-Gauteng Local Division Phindi Mjonondwane, says seven students were arrested on three separate dockets.
Ramaphosa while addressing the death of Ntumba at the Wits protest says there was indeed an overreach by police.
While Ramaphosa and Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande both said that priority should be given to education, it did come too late as an innocent life had already been lost.
