Students have been protesting over fees, accommodation and outstanding debt.

Wits SRC member Solami Buthelezi said, "we are still in a very promising negotiating environment with Wits University, but I will say that it took a lot to get to this point, and so to get to a table with the senior executive team is a victory on its own."

"You will understand that we've had countless failed attempts to have engagements with the institution, and today's sitting was definitely a step in the right direction."

"We do note though that the vice chancellor who we had personally requested his presence be there was not there but he did send a delegation from the senior executive team so we appreciate that."
