QUEST: Student protesters in South Africa have won a major concession from the government. The president, Jacob Zuma, now says there will be no fee hikes at universities next year. As the situation was deteriorating before the presidential reversal, David McKenzie now reports the announcement capped off a week of angry demonstrations that ended in clashes with police.</s>DAVID MCKENZIE, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: The situation is calm here in Pretoria, but you can hear the police helicopters overhead. Because inside the city, there are still pockets of protests. They've burned cars, and they've turned over police vehicles. Earlier today, thousands of protesters came onto the lawns here to demand the ending of fee increases at universities, 12 universities at least across the country have been shut down, and it's been more than a week of protest. Those protests came to a head today in South Africa, when a hardcore group pushed through the barricades and were in running battles with the police, who were shooting teargas, stun grenades, and later, rubber bullets at the crowds. South Africa's president, Jacob Zuma, has said that they will put a moratorium on fee increases for the universities next year. That is a key demand of the students. But this runs much deeper than that. There's a broad dissatisfaction, and anger, from the protesters I've spoken to about persistent inequality in this country more than 20 years after democracy.
