On October 3, three entrances to the University of Cape Town (UCT) were blocked by students protesting for free education. The reopening of UCT follows #feesmustfall protests that flared across South Africa, for a second year. But, 45 per cent of all undergraduates, and 70 per cent of the poor on student financial aid, never graduate. Jacob Zuma, president of South Africa, established the Fees Commission this year to discuss the issues raised by university and student representatives. Meanwhile the frustrated students who bay for change want it now, and don't want to pay any more money.
