Caller explains psychological effect of Manana bringing supporters to court
On Wednesday University students gathered at the Randburg Magistrate's Court, where former Deputy Higher Education Minister Mduduzi Manana appeared on assault charges.
Students from institutions including University of Johannesburg (UJ) and Fort Hare showed support for Manana, suggesting that he be rehabilitated.
Caller and clinical psychologist, Hayden says the presence of supporters shows no remorse and empathy for the victim.

Hayden. 702 caller
He say this applies only if Manana was advised to bring supporters.
This is only if he actively chose to bring these supporters.
