Contents:
  • Introduction and rationale
  • Construction of South African youth before #FeesMustFall
  • Were the 2015 student protests a revolution?
  • What the 2015 protests actually were and how they were possible?
  • Ikhohlisana ihlomile : #FMF students' engagement with power and their ideological differences
  • Can South Africa's declining economy inspire a student-led new revolution?
  • Youth's declining news consumption levels and ideologically-divided media : the (im) possibility of the new revolution
  • Youth's polysemic interpretation of the ANC regime text and (im) possibility a new revolution
  • Youth's declining participation levels in the public sphere and (im) possibility a new revolution
  • Conclusion: #FMF protests will not lead to a revolution per se (at least yet), but to wide ranging reforms.
