Langa, Nyanga and Gugulethu students march through the Cape Town CBD

About 2 000  students from Langa, Nyanga and Gugulethu marched without notice or public declaration through the Cape Town CBD unhindered. On 2 September the ban on public gatherings throughout the country was re-imposed until 31 October. Just a day after the ban was re-imposed, coloured students marched to the CBD, however, the police were prepared and subsequently closed down the CBD. Tear gas was sprayed on students, affecting people working in the area and forcing them out into the chaotic streets.
