Student Protest Movements in Post-apartheid South Africa: Belated Transformation and Unfinished Decolonization
Original language description
Focusing on the wider context of the current student protests engulfing many South African universities, particularly the liberal, elite institutions such as Rhodes University, the UCT and Witwatersrand University (WITS), the paper will analyze the background, dynamics and significance of the student protests. It attempts to examine the discourse embedded in Africanization, which forms the backbone of the strategies the protesters under study employ, and the implications of such actions for democracy in South Africa. It aims to answer the following questions: What are the root causes of the student protest movements organized by the so-called born-free generation, which are gaining momentum after more than twenty years of South African democracy, despite the triumph of political freedom of 1994, and the subsequent efforts at truth and reconciliation and nation-building under former president Nelson Mandela? Why do the protesters mobilize and organize themselves? What do they want? Which issues do they address, with which discourses and which outcomes? Last but not least, what are the implications of such movements for democracy and the future development of South Africa?
