... and the UCT #RhodesMustFall protest ends with the Fall of Rhodes

 

Awww the statue of Rhodes falls. Following a recent protest by students from the University of Cape Town, the statue of the late imperialist Cecil Rhodes has been removed from the University campus. The students who claimed the statue represented oppression and institutionalised racism staged a protest demanding the removal of it from the campus and it appears they succeeded. Okay guys well done! You made a noise and it was loud enough. My question now is, what next? Funniest thing is, his presence will always be felt in many ways (the funds, facilities, etc.). I hope that the removal ends institutionalised racism like you claim. Anyway, please stay happy and spread happiness around. Xoxo.
