The FeesMustFall campaign was a combined student protest from all the Universities in South Africa who though that the government was not doing enough for them in terms of funding for their education therefore most student were dropped out of universities , Even though the protest started in one university, the power of social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter made it possible for the campaign to spread amongst people or I should I say other Universities in the country and even reached South African student studying abroad.

 This Social Media networks played a major role in spreading the message and getting the attention of the public, thus a lot people and top influencers like our Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula was tweeting in support of the FeesMustFall campaign. Most Political Parties took these as a major platform to put the blame on the ruling party for failing to provide the needs of our students through education, 

The rivals of ANC just got the full edge to put the blame on our President Jacob Zuma and his team, and these was caused by the negative comments and posts that people were Tweeting and Facebooking to their followers about our ruling party and some of the comments that our minister of Education Blade Nzimande made through some of the press conferences and also the meeting he had with the students representatives, I quote “if the students don’t accept this, we’ll start our own movement. Students must fall” Said Nzimande. These kinds of comments coming from the minister of education shows how unreasonable he can be since he isn’t a student and I suppose he has it all good but then again it angered the students and it surely got the attention from the public that our government does not care about our youth but themselves.

As with all the Advantages and Disadvantages, The social media brought acknowledgement and understanding between the government and students, because finally the president assured the students that there won’t be any increment of fees in the next year, the social media also worked against the government because after the FeesmMustFall campaign various departments were also fighting for their rights to be heard, Thus these campaign was a good eye opener to many of us south African citizen that standing together as youth we can take these country to the next level. The ideology of the FeesMustFall campaign was not to cause any kinds of chaos for the ruling party, but was to show voice their problem through the increment of fees and stand together as youth of this country till their voice was heard and finally their expectations were met. 

Xenophobia is idendified as strong hatred of non-nationals by the nationals of recipient state, and it’s also believed that Xenophobia is a manifestation of racism. Xenophobia in South Africa is perceived to have significantly increased after the installation of a Democratic government. Reasons for the attacks differ, with some blaming the contestation for lack of resources, others attribute it to the country’s violent past, inadequate service delivery and the influence of micro politics in townships and even the involvement and complicity of local authority members in conflict for political and economic reasons.

Xenophobia attack is the only thing the non-south Africans fear the most as social media platforms regulate around these issue on how the non- South Africans are threated in the vicinities of Johannesburg. The Social media Platforms plays a role on making our country a safer place to live since it’s believed that the non-south Africans are the ones bringing non legit businesses in the county. The drug business is believed to be from Nigerian’s and those who mug people on the streets dairy are believed to be Zimbabwean’s but although it’s all speculations from the public. The social media platforms gives the public an urge on how the publics view these hashtags on social media.

SayNoToXenophia campaign is actually a great campaign but not just for the business sites but also for humanity simply because these people are humans just like the rest of us and I believe that We south Africans wouldn’t be pleased one bit if we heard that one of our fellow south African was in a xenophobic attack in some country . If the Xenophobic attack continues in South Africa, a lot of people will lose business as they are business partners with non-south African citizens. The social media platforms works as an eye opener to lot of Non South African citizens who might have once thought of coming to South Africa to do business or rather just to visit, they perceive South Africa as a violent country.

It’s a strong urge for the non-south Africa citizen never to set foot in our country and since these foreigners are the ones dominating in the corporate world the economy will have a downfall and these won’t be a great thing for South Africa. These hashtags changes the perceptions of the public. The campaign SayNoToXenophobia is a strong movement that is supported by the government itself and a lot of people are doing the best they can when it comes to fighting Xenophobia. The president once said that no grievance against a foreigner could ever justify cold-blooded murder, the destruction of property and displacement of people. The South African citizens are clearly xenophobic as they are outdone by foreigners.
