“Bunch of animals” is one comment on CPUT strikes in August. What is yours?

This is a very extremist comment as people should not at the first place be called or considered as animals. Animals do not protest as they do not have a conscience to do so. Only human beings, unless someone comes to oppose my belief, have been given the capacity of thinking when created by God.

Strikes have been existed ages ago and will still exist and only human beings can strike or protest for whatever reason that has to be. Nevertheless, what matters most is the approach in which people do it. Striking by destroying, damaging the institution, that was not nice at all and students went far and even according to me lost the sense of their claim/demand, which I believe was the basis even of such strikes. Damaging the institution when striking, which could involve gangsters, thieves, criminals, etc as in that moment it was difficult to identify who was a registered student and who was not.

The best way to claim your right should not be in violence as violence does not resolve things but only makes them worst. CPUT students should have reason to strike but this could be done through the SRC as by submitting a memo to the management and then could wait and see until next year during the registration period whether the memo was taken into consideration or not.
