"Fees Must Fall" is a student-led movement that began in South Africa in 2015. It emerged in response to rising university tuition fees, which many students found unaffordable. The movement aimed to advocate for free education and to address issues of inequality in access to higher education. The protests involved students from various universities, including University of Cape Town and Wits University, who organized demonstrations and campaigns. The movement gained significant media attention and sparked national debates about the funding of education, government policies, and the broader socio-economic challenges facing South Africa.
