At UCT, things are getting rough. A conversation

Yo dude. What the hell is going on in UCT?

Crazy shit. 60 students arrested from lastnight till today.

60!

Jesus!

We blockaded the entrances to get the university to take our demands of no outsourcing and no fee increases.

Then UCT management got a court interdict against us and have been using police brutality

As they would. State institution

State security.

Despite that until then it was peaceful protesting. They just refused to meet those of us who, before the barricades, wanted to meet with management, who said they don't trust the 8 of us who were there - that they must meet in the parking lot, not the offices.

Exactly. They deployed them fast. And the media, except Vernac News and DailyVox, have been portraying students as 'savage'.

I was there. We were singing and sharing food mfowethu.

What I call the Marikana response

They attack with impunity.

Ehhe. It is terrifying. We have had to stay away because I'm on the edge of my academics as it is. if I get arrested I will probably fail.

And people's legs have been broken by crazy white terrorists who were crashing their vehicles into the students and barricades.
