Rhodes Must Fall
19.1.16
Colonialism Reparation supports the requests of the
Rhodes Must Fall movement and invites all academic institutions
to decolonize their past repairing the abuses committed.
On April 9, 2015, after a month of protests of the Rhodes
Must Fall movement and following the positive vote of the Council of the University of Cape Town in
South Africa, the statue of the colonialist Cecil
Rhodes was temporarily removed waiting for the permanent
removal. The protests are then continued bringing the insourcing of the University workers previously
outsourced.
In recent months always in South Africa the Open
Stellenbosch movement is moving to the University of
Stellenbosch for English as the primary language to the place of
Afrikaans and the insourcing of the workers, the Rhodes Student Representative Council of the
University of Grahamstown has achieved that the Council of the Rhodes University of Grahamstown
approved the discussion to change its name and the #feesmustfall
movement, started at the Witwatersrand University of Johannesburg
and spread in other universities, has achieved zero
university fee increase for the new year.
Always in recent months the protest has also spread to the United
Kingdom where the Rhodes Must Fall in Oxford movement has
achieved that Oriel College of the Oxford University
launched the procedure for removal of the commemorative plaque and
the statue of Cecil Rhodes. The protest is continuing with a petition for the immediate removal of the statue,
which was obviously opposed by individuals like former South African President Frederik de Klerk
and former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
Colonialism Reparation supports the requests of the
Rhodes Must Fall movement and invites all academic institutions
to decolonize their past repairing the abuses committed, so that
symbolic changes become irreversible and rooted in the education
system.
