Abstract
Starting from Spring 2015, students across the country became engaged in the #FeesMustFall campaign, participating in protest action and shutting down university campuses. The nation-wide student movement initially halted tuition fee increases for 2016 and eventually resulted in a new national policy of free higher education for poor and working-class students in 2018.-
