Fees Must Fall activist Mcebo Dlamini is walking from Wits University to the Union Buildings.
Dlamini’s one-man crusade is aimed at freeing all students awaiting trial for their part in fees protests.
He wants to speak directly to President Cyril Ramaphosa to ask for amnesty for the students.
Dlamini said he would be represented by Advocate Dali Mpofu, SC.
“We are very much ready. I am confident that we will be vindicated. I am not guilty – the State would have to find me guilty.”
National Prosecuting Authority regional spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said they were also ready to proceed with the matter.
“Much as we agree that these protests were for a good cause, we were more concerned with the criminal elements that were brought to our attention,” she said.
Dlamini was arrested in October 2016 and was released on R2 000 bail on November 9 in the High Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court.
