The once sleepy Grahamstown has been a hotbed of student political activity the past few months, their Rhodes University campus seeing an organised and sustained #FeesMustFall campaign that grabbed national headlines.
Now, in a documentary that echoes the sentiment expressed in the Stellenbosch University Luister film, students are speaking out against what they say is a pervasive undercurrent of white privilege at the esteemed university. This from eNCA:
In the piece, titled “#Rhodessowhite”, students talk about their experiences with race and racism at the university.
Topics of white privilege and black exclusion are touched upon from varying persepectives.
The thought-provoking director’s cut can be seen in full up top, showing a growing sense of disillusionment with what many students say is an institution that remains largely white in terms of culture and positions of power.
