We leave you with this picture taken in Lagos, Nigeria:

South Africa's finance minister has finished his mid-term budget speech which was interrupted by MPs of the Economic Freedom Fighters party shouting "fees must fall".

They were shouting in solidarity with students outside parliament protesting against an increase in university fees.

One tweeter suggests that even though the speech is over, MPs may find it difficult to leave the building:

South Africa's News 24 has uploaded this video showing when the police let off stun grenades:

Students were outside parliament protesting against an increase in university fees.

A City Press journalist on the scene at the student fees protest outside South Africa's parliament in Cape Town tweets:

This tweet appears to show people running away after what the tweeter says were stun grenades fired into the crowd at the student fees protests near South Africa's parliament in Cape Town:

And this is the video the same tweeter posted earlier when students were approaching parliament:

Reuters news agency reports that students went on to force their way through the gates at parliament.

The students are protesting against an increase in university fees.  

SABC news has posted a video of South Africa's finance minister being interrupted while giving a speech in parliament by members of the Economic Freedom Fighters party shouting "fees must fall" (see 44 seconds in).

New scathing lyrics have been suggested for the star-filled song for Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni's election campaign.

Ugandan reggae artists Bebe Cool and Chameleon are among the artists in the song:

Monitor columnist Mike Ssegawa's new lyrics ask for better education and lighting:

Like the moon lights the night, dear leaderSo should you light up darkness in our homes   

And the song ends with a dig at the length of the president's rule - which is almost 30 years:

As every good song, just like every good leader Should bow off the stage.

More tweets are coming through of South African students marching towards parliament in Cape Town.

Including this one about the higher education minister Blade Nzimande:

The top trend on Twitter is #NationalShutDown amid student protests about increases in university fees.

Here are a few of the tweets:

World Have Your Say will be asking if the anger justified or are tuition fees a small price to pay for a top education.

The mother of Reeva Steenkamp - who was shot dead by South African Paralympian Oscar Pistorius on Valentines Day 2013 - says she does not want retribution against him. 

 "I've got no feelings of revenge. I don't want to hurt him. He's already a disabled person," June Steenkamp said in her first comments since Pistorius' release from prison on Monday.

The athlete was placed under house arrest, just under a year into his five-year jail term. 

"I don't want him thrown in jail and be suffering ... that's not going to bring Reeva back. But in my heart I don't want revenge towards him, I'm past that," Mrs Steenkamp told public broadcaster SABC. 

 She has attended the launch of the Reeva Steenkamp Foundation at a school in the southern city of Port Elizabeth, Reuters news agency reports. 

"It's been a hard journey and it's going to go on until the day I die," Mrs Steenkamp said when asked how she was coping. 

Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide for killing the model. He told the trial judge he mistook her for a burglar.
