South Africa was seen by the world as the world’s GREAT SUCCESS STORY. Under the guidance of the LEGENDARY figure Nelson Madela, the country transitioned away from Apartheid, and into a democratic nation. But fast forward to today. Nelson Mandela is no longer with us, and South Africa is in the midst of it’s deepest recession since independence.

Now some student are looking to make social changes, in a NON-MANDELA like fashion. There’s a new movement in the country, mainly being promoted on college campuses called the “F*CK WHITE PEOPLE movement. Here is how it all started, courtesy of a Zimbabwean newspaper:

I was feeling hatred because it was times of financial exclusion.and you’d look, come to lines, and see how white people are paying. They’re relaxed, there are no financial problems, so it arose that black exclusion is so [rampant] in this institution.”

This is the rationale given by the black Wits University student who was referred to the Human Rights Commission for a T-shirt he created during a protest over the financial exclusion of poor students and the heavy presence of private security on campus.

The front of his T-shirt read “Being black is sh*t”; the back read “F**k white people”.

The student’s statement is an intentionally disruptive statement, saying “F**k you” to a South African order that tells black people to “F**k off” every single day.
