Protests have played a significant role in the history of South Africa’s fight for justice and fair treatment. The psychology behind the South African protest movement, known as the toyitoyi, stems from a sense of dissatisfaction and the pursuit of fairness. When protests are done correctly, they can be a powerful form of expression, highlighting the potency of speaking out, the power of collective action, and the effectiveness of peaceful resistance. The right to protest is guaranteed by the South African Constitution, and protesters must comply with legal requirements for a safe and authoritative platform.
