AKA donates R100K to WITS Varsity students
AKA donates R100K to WITS Varsity students. After seeing a number of NSFAS applications rejected by the State funding agency, students from the University of Wits took it upon themselves to stage a campus shut down.
AKA is in a really giving mood this month. Just a week after paying a sizeable donation to the South African Special Olympics team, Bhova is now directing his attention to protesting students.
In response to the protest, armed security have been deployed across campuses and protesters have been met with damning hostility (remember 2016/17’s Fees Must Fall protests?).
At a time when many are turning a blind eye towards the struggles of our students, AKA has taken it upon himself to use his platform to cast a spotlight to their problems. The rapper took to Twitter to say:

I think we need to recognize that the government or the institutions will not have all the answers and that it’s up to us to HELP EACH OTHER … especially people in positions like mine.

I’ve been following the saga unfolding at WITS and I feel like something needs to be done for these kids. These are the very same people we ask for support from when we as public figures need something, yet our indifference and silence in times like these is deafening.
