Bongani speaks out on #FeesMustFall and the arrest of the naked protester
We are all aware of the protest action that has been taking place around South Africa under the #FeesMustFall banner.

The recent #FeesMustFall protests that have been taking place at UCT have been trending and even started a new trend of #BlockFikileMbalula. This trend started after the arrest of two students protesting naked. This all started because students along with the rest of South Africa felt our police minister was more interested in how many people follow him on Twitter and staying relevant on the network than dealing with real police matters.
