South African anti riot police this afternoon threw stun grenades at protesting students from the University of Cape Town (UCT) and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) in South Africa as they staged a protest in front of of South Africa's Parliament in Cape Town, demanding for a fall in school fees.
