“Bunch of Animals” is one comment on the CPUT strike on campus. What is yours?

Thieves! Someone catch those thieves! They have stolen from my education… They have stolen from my education. It sounds like a bad dream. Not quite. You might ask yourself, how can someone steal from someone’s education? It’s intangible. But it’s possible; someone has stolen from my education.

Recently, a number of students at my University, The Cape Peninsula University of Technology took part in a strike against registration fee hikes. There’s nothing wrong with disputing something and taken a stance against it, but it depends on how you deal with the situation at hand. Hasn’t anyone heard of good old communication? Communication is key; however people turn to strikes and mass protest which usually turns into chaos, vandalism and anything negative.

I’m saddened by the fact that people would be so inconsiderate and only think of themselves. Don’t they know that they have stolen from my education, they have stolen a whole week of my education that I would never be able to get back. They have violated my right to education. And what makes me even sadder is the fact that I have paid to be here so not only have I been robbed me of my education but also my money. Bunch of thieves I tell you.
