Updated | By Anelisa Kubheka
Some academic staff from the University KwaZulu-Natal will today be picketing in Pietermartizburg, in solidarity with students who are calling for free tertiary education.
Speaking last night during a discussion around the fees must fall protests, lecturer Clint le Bruyns said calls for the resignation of the institution's vice chancellor are not the answer.

Le Bruyns, who will also be part of the picket, says students need to look at other ways of getting their message across besides marching and torching university property.
Meanwhile, some students at the campus believe that tactics that were used to silence the youth during apartheid are being used on them by security and law enforcement.
The decolonisation of the higher education curriculum was also a prominent topic at the meeting hosted at the Mzala Nxumalo Centre, For The Study Of South African Society.
Student Star Radebe, says government has millions to bailout parastatals, but claims there is nothing to fund free education.
