HOW DID #FessMustFall INFLUNCE SOCIAL MEDIA
One might argue, but the #FessMustFall actually involved everyone surrounded by social media. Students used hashtags to their advantage of modern communication channels. The protest became massive, because the #FessMustFall was running through twitter hashtags which created awareness and to coordinate protests and launch petitions. By comparison there were just over 6000 post on Facebook when the student campaign started. These are tweets that were influenced by #FessMustFall campaign twitter.com/hashtag/fessmustfall.

How celebs responded to: Fees Must Fall

Celebrities got involved using the #fessmustfall, because they are a big part of brand awareness  in social media.  Tumisho Masha, TV personality said “no one should b denied higher education on the basis of finances!”.  They supported students to fight against high fees and to win free education.  This was very important because it increased the level of awareness of the importance of #fessMustFall.  celebs responds on #FessMustFall




Reaction towards the #fessmustfall from organisations

Many organizations were involved but President Jacob Zuma and the department of education had to stand at the edge of the situation and try to resolve it. At first the #Fessmustfall reaction from the department did not meet the standards of students, cause it was announced that the will be 6%increase. Until the students showed that they would not fall for half measures made the #fessmustfall a massive hastag in SA, then President enounced the will be 0% increase rate. feesmustfall



I think the organisations took time to respond especially the government and the department of education, because they are the ones who take charge in education matters. The fees must fall campaign took time to end which led to exams to be postponed because the government did not what to meet the demands of the students. If the organisations reacted towards the situation fast exams would be written on time, students were not gonna get arrested and institutions were not going to be violated, all this happened because students thought the government did not want to give them what they need and this made students to fight more and the strike occurred for a longer period.   


#FEESMUSTFALL was a successful campaign because at the end it was 0% increase rate and students actually won and got what they were fighting for. Let us all students fight for our education because tomorrow is our future.campaign success

WHY ZUMA MUST STEP DOWN!!
Since  Jacob Zuma have become President everything is falling as he must also fall. Our hospitals,municipalities and  Education systems are falling apart. People are angry and want Zuma to fall because they think Zuma steels,lies and more corrupt and crime, murder,and illegal immigrants has taken over our country. Zuma uses our tax money for his own benefit. here are more reason of why zuma must step down


In my opinion i think people were angry towards president Jacob Zuma's decision on firing the financed minister Nhlanhla Nene who was replaced by  MP David van Rooyen. I agree that zuma must step down, because he  doesn't deliver services as he promised and South Africa still has a high rate of unskilled people and shortage of jobs. South Africans need to vote for change.
