Cape Town - Students have gathered at Cape Peninsula of Technology’s Cape Town campus ahead of their march to the gates of Parliament on Wednesday.
The crowd is expected to leave the campus at 12.30pm as they head to Parliament, where Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan is set to deliver his medium-term budget speech.
A number of students from UCT, the University of the Western Cape (UWC), Stellenbosch University (SU) and CPUT are expected to participate in the march to demand an answer to their call for free tertiary education.
Students from CPUT’s Bellville campus arrived on Wednesday carrying a cardboard coffin with Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande's picture on it.
