Bonginkosi "Education" Khanyile is a final year student from the Durban University of Technology. He has been in jail from the 27th of September 2016 to date for participating in the nationwide #FeesMustFall protests.

"Education" was subsequently denied bail on Tuesday 29 November 2016 by the white racist and biased Magistrate , Jackie Jonck , using the inherently anti black criminal justice system of South Africa and frivolous charges to keep him incarcerated.

There is a need to end the injustice faced by our fellow student and activist who answered the cry for "Free, Quality, Decolonized Education For All" as many other students did in Universities all over South Africa.

Render your undue support as we say ; Phantsi! To the victimisation of black students, as we say Phantsi! To white Supremacy in South Africa, Africa and the globe. As we say No Retreat No Surrender to the long-standing plight of Free Quality Decolonized Education.

Phambiri Ngachimurenga!

Free Bonginkosi, he is fighting for students like myself who have been financially excluded because of the high fees and no funding despite my excellent academic achievements. Being part of the missing middle sucks!!!!!!!!! FREE BONGINKOSI #FEESMUSTFALL

The adults of our society need to demonstrate care and compassion and humanity. Denying bail because a student has support is using institutional power as a weapons. Wielding such a weapon looks suspiciously like violence.

If fighting for what is just is crime in this country, then prison cells will become a place for tertiary learning. Is prison equivalent to free education? Today, I'm free and tomorrow might be a different story. Cry black man, cry. But A luta continua #Free Bonginkosi

The government should stop using the same tactics as the apartheid government. This is not what our parents voted for in 1994. All we ever wanted was the ANC to deliver their promise of Free Education. Not brutilise us and attempt to break us emotionally, physically and spiritually.
