    It's just a statue for crying out loud.This won't make your problems go away.

    The Boere had good reason to get rid of the statue but they did not get rid of history. A certain level of maturity, respect and identity is required to act otherwise.

      Stephan Kistner I should've expected some lashing due to my generalization. Most of the UCT students did actually protest peacefully. But still, this comment (not mine) sums up my view: "I got bored. So I left. To work on my masters degree. The one that I was given the opportunity to better myself with"

      Rafiq Ally This 'movement' is anti collonial you cave dweller. The Boers fought the British in the 'Boer War'...maybe read a history book (or at least google 'SA History 1800 to 2000'). Troglodyte!

    Waoh! I'm a new student at UCT and I've always seen the keyword, I'm attached to the action especially since it was for the 'public good'.
