by the president last month claim to be the lawful prime minister those are the headlines on. less than thirty minutes time that's coming up right after the stream that's next they with us. extortions generates foundations of headlines to. separate the spin from the. fact. the listening on al-jazeera. really could be here in the stream today part two of our discussion with the cast of the fall a play that chronicles the activism behind a social movement that started in south africa in march of twenty fifteen students at the university of cape town lot she rode smiles for
5:22 pm
a movement that not only brought down a statue but spots a global campaign to de colonise education so what does it mean to be a student activist and what's been the global impact of not just the movement but the play as well joining us to discuss that are three of the co-creators and members of the cast cleo writers. and. welcome everyone to the stream it is really good to have you both here i wanted to start with this comment. this is a great sin how do you feel about having become some of the leading international representatives and voices these must fall and road courses or to hashtags that went global after they started in south africa first and twenty fifteen and then later on in twenty six team what does that feel like to be what some people might say are the leaders of this because they see you in acting on the stage.
5:23 pm
it's a great responsibility. it is a very emotional experience as well you could always think about the fact that. dating back to early as our parents black people weren't given this kind of platform or this kind of voice to tell the truth and share their pain and i think that we had a very good our ancestors our parents they've paved a way for us to be able to do that and so we cannot get to a point where we are misrepresenting that particular story so i think it really grounds us it really roots us it's it is very humbling to be able to tell the story everything go day yeah. i think. ok when i hear that tweet i'm just like. because for me i think first and foremost it's my art introduced me into activism or gave me the confidence to be an activist so now that i'm hearing that
5:24 pm
that statement of the question only i mean i knew that. it is quite a responsibility performing this play and representing the type of. ideas and ideologies are are put on the play i just didn't think of considering myself as i can international representative of the movement but that is i think it's an definitely an honor this movement. is it's it's a big deal because the last. it's so weird it happened at a time where as south africans were actually commemorating a movement that happened in like the one nine hundred seventy s. a very huge movement that happened in. in the shuffle saw its like kind of like a repetition and it sat there as black south africans or as people of color in a marginalized group in south africa was full seems like we're fighting about the same things although the arrows are different but i think it's an honor to be that
5:25 pm
it's a huge responsibility and the most incredible thing is that i think there's so much for me to learn as an artist as an activist as a person as a person that belongs to the community in society so as as much. you know as this movement has introduced me to brady d. parts of myself i also realize that there's so much that i need to learn and i think i look forward to that the most i'm going to remind our audience watching this. this was a major news story what happened in cape town and then spread to other universities with the idea of the fees being too expensive that really took hold and this was how we reported it on al-jazeera have a look. student protests close to hannah's briggs university of that bar to strand two weeks ago it was supposed to reopen on choose day but
5:26 pm
a group of about five hundred students were not going to let that happen. so the police moved in. and. they fired rubber bullets tear gas and stun grenades at the protesting students these students say they want free university education to help close south africa's inequality gap which is still largely divided along color lines they're angry at how president jacob zuma treated them at a meeting on monday. so that was our. reporting. at that time. i remember it started inverts actually when we went to parliament part of the force of actually standing in parliament where we had the white student standing in front of us to protect us from the police because it was quite brutal as you can see even in the clip. we had to ask why she was because the police were saying would not
5:27 pm
attack you know the white students in the movement in fact of these even apart with the forward of an iconic photo of a police officer helping take a photo of of these white girls who've come to a protest but when it's treated differently so it also hit home for me because when i came to the university i only had two hundred which my family gave me to spend in far away kilometers away from where i stay and not having the fees to integrate me into the lifestyle that orientation opens up for you in university i wasn't able to integrate from the word go into the university system because of the fees that exorbitant in that are high that our families cannot pay. i want to bring this up here because you mentioned you're taking us back to what that feeling was like a couple questions similar to this one that we got on you tube this is i who says what has changed years ago another person writing on twitter says. as i attended
5:28 pm
the university still no as a rhodes it's been decided that the university's name will not change because it brings money and because the legacy of rhodes is still rooted in privilege and wealth even in south africa clear i'll give this one to you what has changed for you what do you see is. the most significant change especially keeping in mind that things like the universities don't known as roads has not changed the most significant change has been with the youth of south africa so we have even high school and primary school children dealing with words like do you call him as a sin. everything was moved into the mainstream they knew what you could. they know what beginning to understand what institutionalized racism is and it was terms like we didn't know it all we were like i'm feeling this but i don't know what it is i don't know how to express it and then suddenly you have a term for it you know how did you learn that what was happening politically.
5:29 pm
throughout the rose muscle movement suddenly we had all these academic. academic books and readings that we could. have access to to educate ourselves and moving it to each other and it was a turning point for a lot of the youth so the youth are a lot more empowered and that's the biggest thing that came out of it for me because now people are no longer sitting quietly in waiting for something to happen they're doing something for the change to happen. they're having a voice and that was the most important thing for me. i was going to say pretty much the same i think that's the most important change that could occur that could occur. at the end of the day you know you can only push institutions so far they're only listen to you so far the government parliament it's very self-serving self-serving industry like you said with the roads they refused to change the name because the name rose brings in money so i think the most important changes to be
5:30 pm
the mentalities of the people that go to the places because a lot of the structures are held in place because of all the generations so i think if younger people are more psychologically and emotionally empowered then that is so that is so so so much better any like we're like what you said you're so right my nephew is like twelve years old he knows a lot more than i like then i knew and i always tell us one thing you know is just like a lot more aware i guess when something doesn't look right for me as a child that i was a very observant child. like if something doesn't look over me but like if is for instance at his school they give telling him to lie ahead thing is always an issue they give telling him to cut his hair cut his hair and he came home crying one day and he was like the keep asking me to cut my hair but my hair doesn't fall in my face like my friends and i was like well what is that he's like it's
5:31 pm
a race and i was like attaboy. go back to school and if they have a problem he'd tell them to hit me up on one of those little. little side note for people who don't have afro hair so africa kind of grows out that way sometimes in some schools which. go beyond colonialism but still maybe have that thought that idea of what's in the hairstyle does not go out like that it's kind of slid down or shorts or western style little note they're. wearing for us so we want to show you a couple of excerpts from the fall and we're going to pick up in the production where the statue of john rose has been removed but instead of all celebration new issues of intersectionality of rise causing rifts between the genders so here to perform a scene is the entire cast of the fore. you see after old foul all the problems that the movement had been suppressing began to
5:32 pm
come back into focus now the issue of gender had been simmering throughout the occupation and now love the statue was gone the tensions began to boil over the black radical feminists were demanding that the men account for their patriarchal behavior while the men were feeling more and more attacked. what you guys did was definitely derail our narrative by jumping on that plan you gave the media this huge photo op then i want to focus on the little statements that we keep making as women and i don't want to have to compete with you for the spotlight by being hyper masculine and jumping on flatbed trucks and hitting statues we had an agreement just stick to the agreement for once so are you saying that we can't express ourselves naturally this is biology it's not your limits
5:33 pm
when we are in spaces like that testosterone takes over so what must we do it. and our this is the hyper masculinity they keep telling you about so check by yourself these. every single time we have these discussions about gender uses hit men and women make it all about you and the rest of us are sitting here suffocating you continue to use these he see brother says the binary even after non-binary kids have expressed our pain at being referred to under them you ignore queers non-binary colluders transgender kids in the space when you asked us violent and offensive questions we spent hours here educating you trying to validate our existence.
