Student activism is one of the topics that Moeketsi Mogotsi from Central Media in Bloemfontein has covered quite extensively in recent weeks, including coverage of the 40 years anniversary since the Soweto Uprising.
Based on an interview he did with me in June 2016, he has prepared a news feature for OFM (the Free State radio station) and the Bloemfontein Courant, which is one of the widely read community newspapers of the Free State capital. I am glad that the hard work that my co-authors and co-editors have put into making the book Student Politics in Africa: Representation and Activism (2016, African Minds) is being acknowledged and I hope that the insights from the study of student politics across the continent will help understanding student activism and acting on in, for instance by instituting better mechanisms for student representation.
