FeesMustFall activist Mcebo Dlamini handed down a suspended sentence after he pleaded guilty to public violence and contravening SA's immigration laws.
Dlamini was sentenced to two-and-a-half years imprisonment, which was wholly suspended for five years, in relation to the charges he faced emanating from the FeesMustFall protests in 2015.
The National Prosecuting Authority's Phindi Mjonondwane said Dlamini approached it with the intention of pleading guilty. Dlamini, who was defended by lawyers Dali Mpofu and Aviwe Yakopi, is now contemplating his options to stay in South Africa.
