South Africa's huge student protests, explained - Vox



Student protests over tuition fees have rocked South Africa's universities for about a week. The protests have been so large that a number of universities across the country were shut down. Friday's protest in the capital, Pretoria, attracted 10,000 people — the largest student protest since the famous 1976 Soweto anti-apartheid demonstration, according to the Guardian.
