Eye popping protesting: South African students go bra-less to protest school fees hike

Wits university students in South Africa went bra-less exposing their breasts in protest due to increase in tuition fees on Tuesday. The students clashed violently with police over the incident with many wounded.

In a report by Reuters, police fired stun grenades, rubber bullets and teargas at hundreds of students who marched through the university's campus in Johannesburg, performing the "toyi-toyi" protest dance made popular during the struggle against oppressive white rule.

At least two people were arrested earlier when police moved in to enforce a court order on public gathering at Wits, whose full name is University of the Witwatersrand.

"I am not sure free education is feasible. And I am worried about attacks on other students. It's inflicting fear in other students. It's not right," said one final year law student, who was not taking part in the protest but did not want to give his name.

Square in front of the main hall on campus was strewn with spent shotgun shells and rocks after several skirmishes between police and protesters.

A police woman in riot gear hobbling from the scene with assistance from her colleagues told Reuters she had been hit in the leg with a stone thrown by protesters.

The unrest boiled over again, closing some classes and universities, when the commission said on Sept. 19 that fees would continue to rise, albeit with an 8 percent cap in 2017
