Fees Must Fall : Student Revolt, Decolonisation and Governance in South Africa by Susan Booysen
Requirements: .PDF reader, 9.0 MB
Overview: Fees Must Fall, the student revolt that began in October 2015, was an uprising against lack of access to, and financial exclusion from, higher education in South Africa. More broadly, it radically questioned the socio-political dispensation resulting from the 1994 social pact between big business, the ruling elite and the liberation movement.
The 2015 revolt links to national and international youth struggles of the recent past and is informed by Black Consciousness politics and social movements of the international Left. Yet, its objectives are more complex than those of earlier struggles. The student movement has challenged the hierarchical, top-down leadership system of university management and it’s ‘double speak’ of professing to act in workers and students interests while being captives of old styles of governance. The revolt expresses, above all, the student youth’s anger and frustration with the prevailing social order.
