Black South African Students PROTEST 10% INCREASE IN UNIVERSITY COSTS

GOOD MORNING FROM UPPER DARBY!

The article speaks for itself, where, again. Poor planning and bullshit policies have led to another EASY TO SPOT STUMBLING BLOCK. That COULD HAVE and SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED, AT ALL COSTS! The ANC's STUPIDITY in trying to be ALL-INCLUSIVE, will end up being not only its undoing. But South Africa's as well. As the Whites CONTINUE to hold LIONSHARE POWER. A massive Black Population is THIRSTY FOR EDUCATION AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING. REAL HOUSING. SEWAGE. ROADS. CLEAN WATER! BATHROOMS! BASIC NECESSITIES THAT THE WHITES MADE SURE TO NEVER GIVE OR PROVIDE FOR THE MASS-MAJORITY OF BLACKS!

ANC's program should have AGGRESSIVELY REVERSED THESE THINGS FROM THE DOOR! Not sit down and DREAM UP EXCUSES TO HELP WHITES AND THEIR VARIOUS SLAVES ESCAPE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS! Here is the article;

Stun grenades and placards as students shut South African universities

Protests over 10 percent fee increases that students say will hamper transformation in historically white institutions see protests - sometimes violent - in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Grahamstown

South Africa’s three leading universities in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Grahamstown have shut their gates after violent protests by students over increases in tuition fees of up to ten per cent.

Thousands of students bearing placards and sticks and singing have clashed angrily with security guards and police who in one case fired stun grenades to stop them rushing the gates of Rhodes University in the Eastern Cape.

The increases were due to come into effect in the new academic year which starts in January but have generated fury among those who accuse the historically white-only institutions of seeking to hold back impoverished black students previously disadvantaged by apartheid.

In Johannesburg, protests turned violent last week after police moved in to stop University of the Witwatersrand students blockading entrances and harassing staff, several of whom reported being spat at.

Wits management has cited a decline in state subsidies and increases in the cost of infrastructure and utilities, as well as the depreciation of the South African Rand. It said if a 10 percent fee increase was not possible it would consider austerity measures instead.

On Monday, a planned meeting between university management and students broke up in chaos after thousands tried to storm a meeting hall.

Students bearing placards with the words “Fees Must Fall” – referencing a successful student campaign in April to pull down statues of colonisers including Cecil John Rhodes – also disrupted a media briefing given by the vice-chancellor then banned him from leaving the university, blocking the gates.

One lecturer told the Telegraph, what had begun as a protest by “fringe” groups including those opposed to the ruling ANC had broadened. “The fees are a genuine concern and ordinary students are very sympathetic to these protests because it affects their pockets,” he said. “Many of my students really are on the breadline. It really does exclude people.”

At Rhodes University in Grahamstown police fired stun grenades as students tried to rush the gates on Monday. They have been protesting for five weeks over bursaries, in some cases setting up barricades of burning tyres to block access to the campus.

In Cape Town, where students forced the university to pull down a statue to coloniser Mr Rhodes (Mr. Rhodes? Mister...? Rhodes? HA! Only White people want THEIR BIGOTS to continue to be EMBLAZONED AMONG BLACK PEOPLE! But the minute a Black Person galvanizes Us to RESIST THEY KILL THEM. Yet it is always about YOU BLACKS BE PEACEFUL, WHILE WE KILL YOU. Or HUMILIATE YOU, then kill you! But JUST BE QUIET! STOP RESISTING! STOP RESISTING! Oh and FUCK MR. RHODES! Fuck him with a broomstick right up the ass! The same way that he was doing to Us, with his bullshit. Because rest assured, Whites always pass on and go on "World Tours" among Other People and ESPECIALLY WHITES! To pass on THEIR TEACHINGS. Their FINDINGS! And get lauded and applauded for it.) in April, classes were cancelled and gates to the institution were locked.

The protests prompted Blade Nzimande, South Africa’s Higher Education Minister, to call a crisis summit with university vice-chancellors, student groups and staff. “An approach must be developed in order to come up with a dispensation that takes into account the difficult circumstances facing especially the students who come from poor families, as well as the financial pressures facing the system,” he said.

“Considering the current economic challenges and fiscal constraints facing the country, the department urges all university councils and management to exercise greater caution and sensitivity in the process of determining fee increases in their institutions.”
