While I acknowledge that students have the right to demonstrate, I condemn the idea that protests should be violent.Why would you go all out to be violent when you can peacefully submit your memorandum of complaints?The truth is whenever people decide to embark on violent protests attention is shifted from addressing their grievances to crimes they commit in the process.Their problems remain unresolved and these protests become a never-ending story.You cannot solve one problem by creating another.After all, protests are inspired by the need for a solution, not by imprisonment, injury or destruction.The students must learn to address their challenges peacefully so that they can return to classes soon and help build the country. - Malphia Honwane, Gottenburg eManyeletiPROFESSOR Jonathan Jansen says every citizen has the right to protest.Does this mean anywhere or anyhow, including dancing on tables during a university council meeting, where lectures are taking place and at sports venues where matches are to be played?Does the right to protest include an unlimited right to disrupt the lawful activities of others in pursuit of protest?As usual Jansen is being too politically correct as he unconditionally condemns all adverse responses to the intrusive and often disgusting behaviour of the protesters. - Philip van der Watt, Somerset West..
