-- 54 protests against #Afrikaans students and the language of Afrikaans in education were held by 'students' countrywide last week, but these 'protests' which often expanded into violent rioting, have been taking place all month.

And while the Police minister claimed 'most were peaceful' and waxed lyrical about the excellent self-control displayed by 'students 'and police members, the record from the
mainstream and social media in South Africa told the opposite story. Student protests - many erupting into looting, arson and violence -- were recorded in eight of the country’s
provinces: - Gauteng with 13 protests- North West with 4 protests- Free State with 5 protests - Western Cape with 9 - Eastern Cape with 11- Limpopo with 3.
In all, students estimated at just over 30,000 protested in various forms with most higher learning institutes being barricaded by "angry students", the police report claimed. What the
police report left out however was the violence and the threatening behaviour towards the Afrikaner students who put videos online showing them cowering in fear in barricaded
classrooms and in two cases, watching helplessly while their cars were torched, classrooms, a restaurant and dormitories were looted and they were bombarded with a barricade of
hatespeech and calls to murder all white Afrikaners. Many of these so-called 'students' were bused around from university to university and it is believed that their total numbers were far
lower than claimed by the police, however.
Afrikaans teacher Lindie Bosch-Jansen was stabbed to death, reported by suspect twenty-year old coloured man Damian Adams, who appeared in his first court appearance smiling from
ear to ear and waving to admirers on 20 October 2015 in Warmbaths. http://linkis.com/praag.co.za/LCy7P
About 40,000 members of the (socalled) opposition party to the ANC, the Economic Freedom Fighters, also took to the streets in Johannesburg and Sandton..
On Friday, an estimated 1,000 members of the African National Congress Women’s League also undertook a march to Pretoria.
The students who were not taking part in the 'protests' in many cases were harrassed, beaten and stopped from entering their classrooms. The students felt extremely threatened and
were forced to leave their campuses for their own safety. One commentator wrote: "There is not one instance, where it can be shown, that police acted in such a way that students who
wanted to continue with their normal activities, could do so. The so called rights of the protesters were regarded as more important than the rights of those who chose not to protest, but do
what they were there for, namely study.
