Protests

(Laugh!) Protest against what, against whom and where, when and how to protest?
Everything in South Africa before to be solved, people tend to protest about it in order to bring the authorities forcibly to a table of discussions.

In my own conviction, I do not see the reasons why should people protest to raise their voices as such protests usually end in vandalism; it is really absurd to want something while destroying another one to get what you want so that authorities will have to spend twice by giving protesters what they want and then fixing what have been damaged by the same protesters.

People should know how, when, where... to protest about as most of the time when people protest, once approached by the media, some do not even know to express the reasons of why they protest. I believe that protests should be monitored by leaders who should be aware of the reasons and consequences of such protests.

What we see is totally the useless, people end by damaging, looting, even killing their counterparts just to get what they want and if the victims in their turn want to get back what they have lost, the country’s reserve would be just to repair, satisfy everyone’s needs and wants. We saw in countries like the United States at the time of racial segregation, people ended in sit-in but mostly in quiet way.

Protests should do be done in violence as violence does not talk but from protests with a well-established goal and vision, your voices should be heard and active solutions should be taken, I believe, because authorities come from intellectual backgrounds and they should be aware of why people should protests and therefore provide a comprehensive solution as to satisfy both parties i.e. protesters as well as authorities due to the fact that protest should be a negation, which is a win-win process.
