Stop gambling with the future of this country



Strikes in South Africa have become way of expressing anger and concern to the ruling government .In South Africa is a norm that in order for government to listen to the concern of the society they must be a violent strike. Public properties are destroyed almost every day in South Africa by people who are striking.

The #Feesmustfall campaign was all over the news in 2015 where universities student want 0% fee increase and free education to all. Universities's building were burned down even other facilities that was there. Many people supported the campaign except the burning part as it left many people asking themselves where we are going as the country. In September 2016 the university of Kwazulu Natal start burning the university after the government announce that they don't know yet whether fees will increase in 2017 or not. Violent strikes have turned out to be a norm in South Africa and it will affect the developing process of this country.

The people of Vuwani in Limpopo has been striking for months after the demarcation board announce that they will no longer fall under Makhado municipality in Louis Trichardt . The Community around Vuwani didn't have problem with that until they announced that they will be under the new municipality called Collins Shabane in Malamulela, Limpopo. The communities around Vuwani started striking and 25 schools were burned during the strikes. Learners where stopped from going to write and they didn't even wrote midyear examination. People where burning police car which shows that strikes has turned out to be crimes. 

 People shows understand that services delivery will not happen if they are busy burning school and universities. South African should learn to stay away from school an let children learn. Many adult use learners during the strike to commit crime which is wrong. Parents should think about the future of their children before acting. Even student in university must get mature and act responsible because the money that can provide free education to all will be used to build up university buildings that they are burning.


Everyone has a right to strike but striking doesn't involved burning up public property or denying others the right to learn. People should learn to strike responsible and protect the property because after the strike they will need it. The Department of Education is in crisis of money to fund #feesmustfall and 24 schools that burned in Vuwani strike. It's surprising as in Vuwani the strike has got nothing to do with education  system but still school building were demolished down .Striking is not violent , act and think wisely before you strike and South Africa will be a better place.

Free education to all By Radzilani Denga   imported from African news On Friday the 23 of October  2015 President Jacob Zuma announced that there will be no fees increase in 2016. That's not the reason why students were striking because all they need is free education not what the government was proposing. In freedom charter everyone has a right to free education but still they are many students who struggling to get education because they can’t afford it. The Minister of Higher Education Blade Nzimande have enough time to come up with the solution to free education to all, but still nothing have been done. Early August 2016 the minister was unable to come up with the answer, whether they will be fee increase in 2017 as they can’t afford free education to all. In university of Kwazulu Natal and University of Cape Town they are striking for free education to all and as from October 2016 they should be starting their final exam. Government must c...
