Once again, students at UCT have taken to protesting against the annual rise in university fees and are going to extreme lengths to get noticed.
Due to the “unusual term structure this year”, one UCT philosophy lecturer has caused an uproar after deciding to give Daisies fans a break.
Max Price and company have been called out for excessive bonus payouts for 2016, after calls for staff and management to save money with cost-cutting measures.
Go ahead guess what you think it’ll cost, and then go ahead and double that. That’s basically what you’re looking at if you head off to further your education.
After allegations were brought forward, a meeting of the council concluded in the suspension of two of UCT’s SRC members. Here are the deets.
The odd wrong number, a silly story someone thinks needs covering, these are part and parcel of the business of running a news platform.
Transformation in SA’s university spaces is as big as the debate over #FeesMustFall. One woman spoke up on decolonising science, and tongues were set wagging.

There’s a bit of a stink over at UCT, some individuals sullying campus buildings by dumping sewage early this morning.
The Art Times wrote an eulogy-esque write up on the paintings that were burnt by the UCT students on Tuesday. You would think someone had died.
You might have seen yesterday’s strongly worded opinion piece on the issue of rape at UCT. Turns out they weren’t impressed.
UCT is pretty good at protecting rapists within the institution, and now that students have been provided with a voice made clearer than before, room is being made for survivors to speak out.
Among the 30 protesters arrested during yesterday’s charge at parliament was the son of Max Price, whose headaches may only be just beginning.
As students took to the streets there was no shortage of creative discontent on display. These banners managed to tickle a funny bone or two.
Sure, there are protests over the increase in fees, but you do even know what those pricings are?
You may have seen the videos of just how heated things became yesterday at parliament but some of these images are very jarring.
#FeesMustFall protestors have made their way to parliament in an effort to take their struggle to people who need to hear it.
