#FeesMustFALL
#FEESMUSTFALL
Khanya Cekeshe, A Media Academy student who is serving five-years in jail @ Leeukop prison for burning a police van in Braamfontein at height of #FeesMustFall protest in 2016 was denied leave to appeal his sentence at Johannesburg Regional Court on Thursday. Since 2015 in south Africa students started complaining about how much they are paying for their fees, this came out when Universities started increasing the fees and expecting students to pay more. I think the issue of fees must fall is a never ending process, its been on for years now and even today students are still paying for their own fees, I think the Government should make an agreement with the students to pay at-least 70% of their fees since it has failed to cover the whole amount. In the process of marches, many students get hurt because the police are being instructed to shoot.
This happened in the University of Witwatersrand in the year 2016 when students protested for their rights, police men were given the authority to shoot as innocent as they are, they shot student who fought for their right , matter fact the shot students for crying out loud for help. It very important for students to be strategic about this issue because if they don't, the black poverty will never end, most people who cannot afford their studies are very rare, it is very rare to find a white students studying with a bursary, they all pay cash on top of that they are driving expensive cars.I think there is a very big improvement because during the fees must fall marches even white students took part to help the black students, the video below shows exactly what happened;
FACTORS AFFECTING THE FEES MUST FALL CAMPAIGN
The Fees must fall campaign is affected by the Government and the Private investors, I think the government and private investors can assist in giving the students free education if only they were willing to, so they are all not serious about this matter for it could have been solved long time ago. The currency of our country also has an effect on the fees must fall campaign, compared to the United State of America and other neighboring counties the rand is too weak. Private investors generate a lot of income from the public, so it should at-least give back to the community by funding things such as education and orphanages. The first black president of South Africa, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela once said" young people must take it upon themselves to ensure that they get the highest education to be able to represent us in future"

Feesmustfall played a big role to the students because education is a need for every child in the world and the campaign has done a difference to change a child's life.
ReplyDeleteThank you, am glad you see things my way
Deletethe fees must fall protest made it possible for students to get the free education they needed. if the campaign was not there the was not going to be free education
ReplyDeletethank you, at least our cries were responded this year
DeleteFeesMustFall in that year many students fall behind in their academic learning
ReplyDeleteyou are right, it was time consuming with little results thou
Deletei don't know i stand to be corrected but my question is , is South Africa ready for free education i mean. I believe that every black child is entitled to free education so the fees must movement was a real success.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this comment, its high time the government hear us out
DeleteIt's high time the government should hear the out-cry of the students, therefore they are so passionate about learning,but limited by the constant increasing fee cost.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, I personally know people who passed with flying colours and are still at home doing nothing
Deletei also think that students should find a better way of addressing their problems to the government than protesting.
ReplyDeleteThank you miss for your input ,I am impressed and in support of your motion
