One thing about South Africa, it will be on fire!
This was during #FeesMustFall
@UKZN is financially excluding students each and every year.They want 100% of the fees owed.What nonsense is that?

Who were the spies within the #FeesMustFall? This is a standing question in my mind since the report by iTimer uSydney Mufamadi.

@Durbannetwork Provoke people and shoot or arrest them for retaliating. Reminds me of #FeesMustFall days.
@politicaleconZA I just need to know for the sake of my own sanity, was #feesmustfall and #endGBV a psyop?
Estes movimentos (protestos) estudantis parecem ter a mesma matriz do #FeesMustFall iniciado em 2015, na @WitsUniversity
O Prof Jonathan Jansen escreveu bastante a respeito, na sua obra “As By Fire: The End of the South African University".
Que se segue?

#marchandmarch
@ntsikimazwai Even during #FeesMustFall some students were arrested and others went to Parliament but the cause has been achieved. Even MK soldiers some are living in poverty while others live large. This too shall pass, they are fighting their cause....✊🏿
The only thing @GovernmentZA responses to well and quickly is fire and smoke. They don't listen to anything else. Take #feesmustfall for example, the students asked no one listened, then they burned cars, buildings and got their answer!
I have thousands of South Africans who follow me on this page, and I have a question. I understand the frustration over illegal immigration and the problems associated with it.
But why would you burn cars belonging to South Africans as a way of protesting against illegal immigration? What is the logic? Who are you punishing?
A car does not identify its owner as South African or foreign. Cars are simply parked there. Some belong to South Africans, while others belong to foreign nationals. When you set them alight, you could be destroying the property of the very people you say you are defending. How does that help address illegal immigration?
You remembered #feesMustFall. My fellow South African,i believe now is the time for 2.0 #AncMustFall 🔥🇿🇦.
A decade after the national #FeesMustFall protests, South African higher education institutions continue to mirror systemic crises, as seen at Rhodes University this week. Poor, working-class, and "missing middle" students face ongoing financial exclusion driven by a combination of compounding annual fee increments, National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) administrative deficiencies, and rigid institutional debt-recovery frameworks that ignore broader socioeconomic realities. This underscores a dual failure: institutional mismanagement by universities and systemic policy shortcomings by the national government to guarantee the constitutional right to equitable, quality higher education. Consequently, campuses face growing militarization and securitization, where legitimate student mobilization against these structural barriers is increasingly met with institutional litigation and state-sanctioned violence. This continued, systemic exclusion is fundamentally unjust and serves no other purpose but to simply reinforce a discriminatory socioeconomic reality in our country: higher education is no longer a public good, but a commercialized privilege accessible only to those with the independent means to pay for it.
[LISTEN] Rhodes University says it is addressing SRC concerns as a student alleges that protest disruptions have left some students without food and feeling unsafe.

Until #FeesMustFall,when students rose against financial exclusion so that others, like her, might have a fair chance in life and access the university facilities she enjoyed
She stood on the other side, dismissing their struggle as a waste of time coz it disrupted her exam
As a South African you cannot watch this women's track event & not think of Caster Semenya - the travesty she suffered at hands of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), World Athletics & Sebastian Coe...they "legally" discriminated against her & violated her human rights
Do protests have more impact than voting in elections?
As we reflect on ten years since the #FeesMustFall protests, hear both sides of the question on our latest @demunplugged episode: https://t.co/ZXcNANbiw5
#NewEpisode #SouthAfrica #PodcastPartySA
Reminds me of #Feesmustfall
Naledi Chirwa may have initially come to South Africa on a study visa.
During the #FeesMustFall protests, she became increasingly vocal and prominent, which allegedly brought her to Julius Malema’s attention and eventually led to her becoming an EFF Member of Parliament.
There are also questions surrounding her marriage to a South African citizen and whether it played any role in her immigration or citizenship status.
These are matters that deserve transparency and should be established through evidence and official records.
