HELLO,
There’s been a meeting, the revolution returns…
GRASSROOTS PRESENTS: #FEESMUSTFALL 2.0
The South African Students Congress met (or conspired?) to elect new leaders at the end of last year and shit went down. Really bad. Comrades fought with the cops, cars were smashed. After the election the cops had to usher out winning faction. During the count, 30 votes were missing. So obviously the other delegates accused the new leadership of rigging the poll. Since then, things haven’t been the same.
But this is not about that.
The same leadership successfully presided over a policy conference held in Durban in a few weeks ago to, among other things, chart the way forward for the #FEESMUSTFALL revolution. Interesting to note the resolution to go after the national treasury. And the one about balancing the “contradictory and complimentary approach to both government and the ANC.” What the fuck is that? Does it mean you’re signing up for the gravy train or a full on revolution?? SMH.
Below is an extract of some of the resolutions.
- The NPC resolved that in the mean time the NSFAS must be moved from DHET to the national treasury to expedite allocations and prioritisation
- We resolved that the 2nd semester will be marked by heightened political activism in demand for free quality educatio
- There will be a complete shutdown and the whole society will be mobilized should the government not introduce free education.
- We will introduce a national student charter
- SASCO will close ranks on all opposition parties and opportunistic “student organisations “ in our campus to preserve the rich history of struggles
Some of those student movements’ are GRASSROOTS. Can’t close ranks on nature, homie.
Standby for marching orders…
