The Fee struggle.

The recent global movement that sent a wave of thought across the world on how expensive universities are was felt more here at home in SA. The fee increment which is an annual activity was met by angry students who were not just being selfish but being considerate of others especially those who are still in Schools. This all started at a Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg when the students heard of how there was going to be a 4% increase in their fees for 2016. Not only did it cause a continental media coverage but this caused fellow students country wide  to take up the matter. within days there was international support from Australia to SF, W in the USA. This lead to a major march countrywide causing a total shut at all universities and further disturbance in Parliament.

This showed not only how media coverage is advanced but showed how there exists unity in social groups regardless of Geographical location or race. more is still to come on this matter.
