This young truck driver has a simple message to the #FeesMustFall protesters who are wrecking universities: “Stop your k*k.” In this three-minute viral video directed at students‚ 27-year-old Josh Drizzy Bergh shared some of his thoughts‚ mostly in Afrikaans‚ on Facebook. “Get direction in your lives and be a little more civilised‚ because you are out of order for students who are studying to achieve something‚” he said. “How the hell can you study for a degree to be an attorney‚ accountant‚ doctor‚ whatever … but you do stupid things? You burn down your own university‚ libraries‚ toilets‚ whatever because you’ll burn anything just to prove a point.” Bergh lambasted students for vandalising infrastructure that they‚ and their children‚ would have to use to advance their studies and would cost government to repair.“How can fees fall?” asked the young trucker who hails from Touws River in the Cape. “Do me a big favour please. Go study your history again and see what your forefathers did. The way you are doing things is totally wrong … I don’t agree with this k*k!”Students have been protesting on campuses nationwide following Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande’s cabinet decision to allow universities to increase their fees by up to 8% in 2017. It appears that this protest has divided South Africans. – TMG Digital..
