The unrest at the University of Cape Town (UCT) is a loud cry for help from students facing tough challenges. They are blocked from registering due to fee issues and struggle to find housing, leaving many without a place to stay. The protests, led by the Economic Freedom Fighters Students’ Command (EFFSC), highlight the deep inequalities in South Africa. Students are demanding change, hoping UCT will listen and act on their needs for a fair education. Their fight echoes past movements, showing the power of unity in seeking justice and equality.
