JOHANNESBURG— At least 2,000 South African university students and supporters crowded into a Johannesburg city block Thursday to demand that the ruling ANC party deliver on its promise of free higher education.
The demonstration comes more than a week after students at Johannesburg’s University of the Witwatersrand launched protests over a proposed 10 percent tuition and fee hike.  Protests over university costs have since spread across the country and forced no less than 14 institutions to temporarily close.More
