The SRC president Muziwenkosi Sigidi announced to the students in a video that is circulating on social media that they have won, after the meeting.

“We have won. The draconian fees have been reduced. We would love to thank you all who stood in solidarity with those who stood with us in the stay away,” he said without giving specifics.
