Students from the University of Wits staged a campus shut down. This is after a number of NSFAS applications were rejected by the State funding agency. AKA thus took it upon himself to help them out.
He has now cast a spotlight to their problems.
I’ve been following the saga unfolding at WITS and I feel like something needs to be done for these kids. These are the very same people we ask for support from when we as public figures need something, yet our indifference and silence in times like these is deafening.

I think we need to recognize that the government or the institutions will not have all the answers and that it’s up to us to HELP EACH OTHER … especially people in positions like mine.

I have now donated R100 000 to the SRC Humanitarian fund and you will find us @ 13:15 at Knockando Residence Hall TOMORROW handing out some 🍔 and fries 🍟 & standing in solidarity with our people. I know that won’t fix all the issues facing our students but I think it’s a start.

I hope this will make other celebrities, private citizens and leaders, STOP 🛑 and THINK 🤔 about what we can do to help these young people. This is not a political initiative, this is about demonstrating that WE are the only ones who can find solutions for our own problems.
