South Africa - A house divided

Its not #feesmustfall or #ANCmustfall now it is all about #studentsmustfall. Watch the higher education minister laugh about a very serious situation in South Africa.  I guess the born free students know Blade is a selfish, inconsiderate and senseless man.  The house is divided and the government should realize the extreme urgency and calm the rioting students before the division becomes uncontrollable.

The University Spring can go either of two ways. 1. So far, it is not an ideological project and is not aimed at overthrowing the government. It is a specific protest for a specific purpose, namely, to seek extra funding for universities. All Nene needs to do is to announce an adjustment budget. And Blade could stand surety for universities that apply for bank loans. Everything settles down and it is business as usual as the Guptas, Nkandla, the aeroplane, Hlaudi and other iconic phenomena live on to define our inexorable decline for a few more years before another major uprising.
2. Or, the protest could spill over into poor townships and villages where the most disaffected youth begin copycat and more uncontrolled and this time violent attacks on symbols of governmental power and inequality. This is, to borrow from John Vorster, too ghastly to contemplate
