“Bunch of animals”

I refute the statement above based on these following factors. We all know the history of our country, where we come from, how we got to where we are today. Having said that, it is quite evident that we fought so hard and so many lives were sacrificed in the process. Our fellow black and white brothers sacrifice a lot for the sake of freedom and democracy. We have experience and partaken to worst of things that we never thought of doing just for the sake of democracy. We can no longer entertain where a certain few individuals will take decisions that affect everyone without consulting them first.
Then the issue in CPUT falls under the same sphere of segregation financially. Those in power are struggling so hard to ensure that black people (who compose 80% of CPUT students) will not be able to afford to pay that kind of money, which means that majority of black student will not be able to study. That does not justify the vandalism but fighting for your rights is what any man/woman must do. We cannot go back to the apartheid era where people would decide for others without consultation of any sort. The struggle continues (ALUTA CONTINUA) and power to the people. The struggle must be intensified to break the shackles of the past. Also by vandalising what we have is of no cure to no one because after it’s all said and done we will be left with nothing. Some of us are studying and paying with our hard earned cash and we are in no position to compromise our time, money, studying for no reason at all. Sanity must prevail and people need to learn how to voice their anger and frustration
