Durban - Bonginkosi ‘Education’ Khanyile paid the ultimate price for his participation in the #FeesMustFall movement, he was found guilty and convicted of public violence for assaulting police officers with rocks and slingshots during the protests three years ago.
“It’s a very fulfilling feeling because as the generation of #FeesMustFall, we come from very far, so today it was a protest vote to say these are the demands I think I should be given as a young person in particular,” he said. “The only thing now is to see if the government-in-waiting is going to deliver to us. Our vote is vote for free education, our vote is for #FeesMustFall activists to be pardoned, our vote is the vote for the land, jobs and everything that comes with a better life. I am very satisfied and I think we have seen a number of young people come out to cast their votes,” he said.
