Students from The University of Cape Town (UCT), particularly those from the #RhodesMustFall movement, have been protesting the dismal housing situation at the university. They erected a makeshift shack on the campus, dubbed #Shakeville as a symbol of the all the students who are struggling to get accommodation. On Tuesday night, things took a violent turn.

According to EWN, police arrived on the campus last night to disassemble the shake and when students resisted, they used stun grenades and rubber bullets to pacify them. This only angered the students who took the streets, starting fires, burning two UCT vehicles in addition to the priceless artwork they burned earlier. Eight students have been arrested.

All the footage of the clash shows both police and students being violent. There is no doubt that two big opinions will rise from this latest protest action. The first is that the students are hooligans causing trouble and disrupting peace. I have already heard people call them criminals. The second is that the cops are bullies, stopping the just actions of students and hurting young adults who are just trying to make a difference.
Both opinions do have their justifications, but will taking sides really solve the bigger issues?

For me, the actions of both police and students leave me feeling conflicted. As a former UCT student, I am well aware of the housing issues, as well as many other issues that have come to light during the #FeesMustFall protests. I fully support students fighting for their rights and trying to make things better for themselves and future generations. However, I can’t condone the use of violence and destruction to get that point across. Burning UCT property is counter-productive, as it paints the students in a bad light. On top of that, the physical things they are protesting for (better housing) requires money, that will now be spent on fixing the damage instead of going towards fixing some of the problems.

As for the police. When things get chaotic, they are definitely needed to keep the peace. They are there to keep us and our communities safe and that includes our universities, but as a former news journalist, I know how the presence of riot police can add to the violence during protests. Protests can be completely harmless, but as soon as a group of men in riot gear holding big guns show up, people get scared and then angry and things get out of hand. I am not saying that the police are responsible for the violence, but the way they handle situations does have an impact.
So how do we move forward?
I have absolutely no idea. What I do know is that, if we paint this complex situation as black and white, nothing will be solved.
UPDATE: The eight students who were arrested on Tuesday have been released on bail.
Are these our future academics? God help us – barbaric savages …
These kids are suppose to be our future leaders. What a disgrace.
Why is it expected that UCT must find student accommodation? Dont they normally find their own? Why is there always the expectation that everything should be provided free?
I could never afford to study at UCT. These scumbags don’t deserve the privilege !
The jails should be overflowing
These idiots are the future leaders scary
that’s what happens when you’re given everything on a silver platter
i can just guess who is behind this all.
lets just hand out everything to them lets hand out their diplomas etc to them before they start protesting about how long it takes to acquire one.
You’re privileged!… You’ve got the opportunity to STUDY so that you can make something of yourself in your future career!! One day when a prospective employer asks you what you studied a ‘varsity, think how well it will go down when you tell him that you organised protests on campus.. Now.stop stuffing around and start learning….. that’s after all what you’re there for!
Because they are gangsters and not educated Beryl Furlong.
Has anybody noticed there are more spectators than protesters…..orchestrated …….just saying
Keep the people entertained and their minds off what is really happening in the country. While we are commenting SA is being drained and demons trained!
Why not just UCT CRISIS ? U0001f60f
Hulle moet voor die voet gearresteer word sonder enige byl.
Arrest them,charge and convict them and throw away the key.
We will never stop until they respond with peace and perfect manner
get to the bottom of this bad element
This is another stately University bowing down to Vandalism….Nip it in the bud before its too late !!
Well said Jeanette Robertson!
You an oxygen thief – you don’t deserve a response
Traditionally, protesting has always been the preserve of the student – what makes these students scum is their flavour of violence, entitlement and distruction – can you imagine the camp fire chats with their off spring … “when daddy engineer was a student, we burned down things to get attention”. So funny cause more than half of you shouldn’t even be there … go become a plumber and see what hard works all about, you lazy peepee jollers.
This makes me angry. So many people of my generation and generations before never had the privledge to attend varsity unless u had distinctions or mega bucks. These hooligans are denying other young adults the opportunity of attending varsity by taking up space and not using the gift to study but instead to boycott, demonstrate and be destructive. They should be immediately expelled and have charges laid against them for destruction to property.
The only reason they are carrying on like this is because they are too stupid to study if ever you are approached by someone that has been to varsity in the last bit you know w
I am so tired of this. Lock them up and throw away the key. If the accommodation is full it is full end of story. They must then look for their own. God help us if these are the future leaders of our country
Really I am not surprised at all. They will never be satisfied, give them what they demand and they move to the next on the ‘ gimme ‘ list. Try giving the whole lot what they need… arrest them. Who is the person who asked for families in the area to open their homes to students. Crazy, so that they can invite their friends over to trash your place and burn your car.
Wonder of hulle ooit kastige studente is! Ek kan die mense nie verstaan nie! Waar sit hulle “brains”?? Laat mens wonder of hulle so iets soos “brains” het!!
You a clown Gift…
nothing gets done … just talk
The question of how to move forward needs no answer – it is obvious ………
“Eskom CEO Brian Molefe entering bail office to pay his son, Itumeleng’s bail.” wow wow wow wow – do we need to pay more for electricity so that your brat can stay on campus? “Needy” and “underprivileged”? More like the “Waterkloof 4”-brats doing like they please. Sue Molefe to pay for the damage! >:( >:( >:(
freaken Eskom CEO Brian Molefe’s brat is one of them! >:(
no – no more – Eskom CEO Brian Molefe’s brat is one of the arrested – waaaaaay past the “poor little black kid” phase – waaaaay past.
I never seem to read what degrees these students are reading, which is worrying, we don’t need a few thousand political and social science graduates,
Whites also have a housing problem-but they are in class-doing what students should be doing.
Interesting!WHO is going to FOOT THE ACCOMODATION BILL(ACCOUNT)?
Regering maak n plan asb.
Hi There
If expulsions happen then sadly that will lead to the next round of riots until the end of the semester & the beginning of the exam -time.
But many will not fare well in exams because of limited time spent in class due to protest-riots…..hence high rate of unsuccessful candidates…….this event then triggers another round of protests in retaliation for lecturers having failed candidates You see.
thnx.
There are no words. I have used them all up on every other stupid, ridiculous, selfish, dangerous, barbaric thing people have been doing lately in this country.
Expel these students with immediate effect!!!!
haha, most of our leaders didn’t go to university or high school for that matter
pollsmoor prison will gladly accept them
The students are the ones who have created this “crisis” and they are now creating the next crisis. They are destroying the education they are demanding. If you want something WORK for it, if its handed to you, you do not deserve it and it is worthless. If only they had a brain cell between them they would see this….but they don’t, so they won’t until it is too late.
These people will keep on burning things down if someone don’t step in now to stop this! They need to know you cannot just keep on demanding!
Hulle ken die bos, so gee hulle n paar takke om onder te slaap. Dis al wat hulle vra!!
Come on DA we need you to step in and please do not take anymore of this, we will stand with you.
Again, I say, WTF has housing got to do with studies at UCT
You cant call them students,theyre trash.
I wish i could of had some of that art work that got destroyed.
Another failed african state baboon country
Wat verwag julle,hulle hoef net 30% te kry vir univers toelating.Almal wat nou aangekla is vir beskadiging van eiendom loop more weer vry rond.
forgot to mention the looting of a private residence before hand….had the munchies,new technique……you do not pay for it ,you fetch it by looting
Aaaah the logic of these students!! Our future leaders……….some real rocket scientists out there……..so glad I will be10 feet under when (and if) they get out into the real world.
What a privilege to be able to go to University to further your studies. What studies???????? Go learn or go home!
HKGK eers is dit grates skoolgeld nou is dit behuising volgende in dit vervoer. By UWC is daar tans 24000 studente wat registreer. Waar gaan dit ophou? Dit lyk nou asof hulle nog graad sertifikate ook gratis wil he!
I never went to uni, because my folks couldn’t afford it………..these kids get it handed to them on platter and then they do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DISGRACEFUL
Name and shame these students so they won’t be employed in the future!!!
This type of behaviour is common.
Ask Jonathan Jansen for insight and advice!
The irony is that universities kept out majority of white students to give them opportunities and they mess up… feel sorry for them really.. now r fighting for accommodation tomorrow maybe they will strike that they eat beans and not neat… dont we see the picture? They dont want to study maybe they will demand to buy a degree
We….the taxpayers of course!
Kick out the criminals make space for people who WANT to learn.
So while molefe is raping the country and filling his pockets , his offspring is wanting studies for free — and what was his matric pass rate ? 30% with make up by the board of 5%
Oh you mother flickers … give it up … some students REALLY want to learn!!
Stop them. Fine them
Ban them fron all varsity s
These kids don’t want to learn ! They want to F** up everything that’s left ! Why should parents pay for their young children at primary and primary till high schools . They should also get Free education . Free for all Blacks Whites Yellow Pink Blue ,,, all .
What now they want to be housed for free.
We never had money for UCT so I went to work .
Why!! is this being allowed to happen ??? Right is right and wrong is wrong. This vandalism and sense of entitlement must be stopped. UCT act now!!! before you go down the tubes !!!
“They”. Hello Cape Town
and mr zuma has not said a word on any of the university vandalisms? why not?
FACT: THEY WANT EVERYTHING FREE. THAT’S WHY , WHEN THEY ‘GRADUATE’ FIND A GOOD JOB WHICH IS GIVEN TO THEM. THEY ABUSE THE SYSTEM COS THAT’S ALL THEY KNOW. “DISGRACEFUL”
Just heard that the ANC brag about 3 new universities Why don’t the students who don’t live in CapeTown and expect accommodation use these universities and not expect to have everything laid out for them!!!!
Enforce the law , these miscreants are in fact a danger to NORMAL SOCIETY……REMOVE FROM SOCIETY… ..
These culprits must be named, to save some hardworking businessman, in the near future,hiring them, with no chance of firing them. Kick them out.
They not worthy of attending a varsity. Sic
Who is the warmonger who paid the bail……..shame the poor miscreant juvenile delinquents…..common criminals no mercy..in jail your new long term home……
Zeerp Ud Ettena like father, like son. LOL
If you keep on giving in to them, this what you get!
Yes! They as in want to be students! What now? Is they racist to?
Kick them out ! They can sweep streets after this.
How about a counter – revolution of ex – students, parents of students etc. UCT AND OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS NEED TO STAND UP FOR THE REAL PEOPLE OUT THERE- NOT FASCIST PIGS
We let rooms to UCT students for a while stopped we found the majority to be dirty, lazy and inconsiderate to other boarders.
Sadly universities pandering to criminals and racists in bid to be politically correct. We need to start a counter- delinquent organisation to support those who actually want to study and learn. Enough is enough.
Start with big business funders of universities. Dry up support., funding at institutions that do not take a strong stand against hooliganism.
Sorry but these are the spoilt brats of our current society. SRC president at UCT is Ppe student more intent on building his cv than any cause no matter how important.
Look at all the protests – all led by spoilt brats building their political careers. These are spoilt delinquents
So who has the money to pay for the shack and the porta loo.? Thought they were all poor.
We are pensioners and every year we have to pay thousands to SARS. My husband has been retired for 18 years and his investments are all we have to live on yet the youth of today destroy the infrastructure which means higher taxes to fix their messups!!!!! When are they going to learn…….. Literally and figuratively!!!!!!
How can you use stun grenades to pacify? Subdue maybe.
…you’re a few episodes behind here…
AT LAST some arrests made. While they are incarcerated, please educate these miseries about their behaviour. They are ensuring their unemployability. They have no respect, no problem solving skills, have shown to be untrustworthy and even if their education is to be free (as per the #feesmustfall,) they have essentially rendered themselves useless by being such upstarts. I wouldn’t employ them.
They are not students… They are criminals and should be treated as such. All of them should be expelled and jailed, full stop!
There should be NO bail for this savage… In fact they should be bound to pay for the damages from their future income, even if it takes another 20 years for them to start earning money…
We need the decisive authorities to deal with this lazy ‘human waste’ and stop giving in to their endless demands… They must get the message once and for all, that nobody owes them anything!
If others don’t like it and start another campaign… they should follow the suit.. Plain and simple!
Go the Lokasie route 17 to a room, crisis sorted!!
Do they keep liquid that is used to burns buses and pictures around in their back-packs as necessary accessory?
Mmmmm Penny Sparrow were right afterall.
CapeTownEtc no. It was BEFORE police intervened and they did so because they were going mental
south Africa today very funny really.
Charge them with arson and lock them up. Furthermore ban them from studies at any university.
Unless it’s by correspondence.
It is common knowledge that the residences at unis are NOT supposed to accommodate EVERY student there!! Duh… residences are there as a comfortable options for some students – Normally students who get picked bec they got distinctions or are good in sport etc… that is the main sentiment regarding residences.
Spoilt brats and this has nothing to do with apartheid, you are all new South Africans born into our Rainbow nation. Wow you are priviledged to be given the chance to study further to be the leaders for your children one day. Remember what ever you do or dont do while studying comes back to you in the REAL WORKING AND UNEMPLOYED REALITY. Stop messing about and be positive and start learning. The University, should have a clause for students that cause riots should be expelled simple.
There should be a name and name list and distributed to all businesses and emplyment agencies
Why are we ‘pacifying’ students? Arrest them!
Easy, burn paintings.
Break down the shack,the ANC Government did not issue a residential or performance licence for it to be there and is illegal.Destroying a Tertiary Institutions Property without permission or instruction of the Governing Body subject to and fulfilling the Law of RSA is illegal.The perpetrators are to be arrested,kept in custody,face a trial,receive judgement and it’s outcome.This is normal civil/criminal practice as applicable in a country that has a legal & juradicial system.If RSA prisons are full Holland has several standing empty.
Once they are prosecuted, these individuals should be named,shamed, blacklisted, whatever it takes, so that they never become employed!
UCT change your name to FUCT
Send them home
Well said V.
Eskom CEO’S son was arrested. Why is he protesting when his Daddy earns R 8 million a year?
YOu must give me!
Why u choose Holland out of all countries
Common daily Thugs not even students
These protests are orcestrated !
Maybe to prove that brains don’t run in that family ?
Wonder if he lives in res as an underpriveleged person !
Sithembiso Nokula No, it is not a stupid question at all.
He might not suffer from homelessness but he can still protest in sympathy.
There is a big difference between protesting and wilfully vandalising property and stealing.
Going to varsity is an excuse to cause havoc I believe some of those involved are not even students so what is actually going on
Give them shacks that is all they deserve for what they did to the University. They need to go back to the bush
You know what let them carry on destroying the very place they want to be part of, soon there won’t be a UCT and then what? Spose they will complain about that too! It’s disgusting what’s happening they should close UCT down until students can learn how to behave. I’m surprised they haven’t knocked down Rhodes just because of its name, any excuse!
I hope potential employers are taking note. Who wants to employ someone that plunders and burns when they’re not happy with their situation?
I wonder if their own homes are better than the Backpackers ?
UTC always were there for the leftists which evolved into the hooligans of today. Privileged offspring with money to burn (parents) and time to waste. To lazy to remember what they are really there for.
Disgusting. Lock him up forever.
Savages kick them all out.
Our Future Criminals getting degrees!…..I think its all a plot to unstable the WC
Fascists on the march – ignorance combined with aggressive stupidity. Fouling their own nest!
I think this protest is about “student”( I use the term very loosely) wanting free food and accomodation i doubt that they have any intention of ever completing a meaningful degree.Life is good don’t have to study,no responsibility for actions and free board and lodging!
Students who protest violently and destroy property are not there to study. My feeling: remove them, lock them up and throw away the key – so that those who want to learn are given the opportunity to do just that. 🙁
Im entitled to free education, free housing, free transport, free food… I waaaant it now or else I will use violence to make my point… Welcome the generation Savage! Zero tolerance for anything rational or with rules… Chaos and anarchy!! Why? Because if you see people with Stuff you dont have and the politicians preach equality then it must be so…This is communism that is taught at grass roots….
Dineo Sathekge Stirring again?
…..close the University….and who would want to give these people lectures any way??
It’s a prevelege to study not a right. Wow…
I believe that we are losing a large number of skilled people & young people to foreign countries due to this sad state of the nation!!
Since when must Housing be Supplied.????
Lets face up to facts, they will all be released without being charged !!!!!!!
This is not your property to damage,it is goverments property how dare you!!!!!!!
Time for private universities that are transparent non discriminatory well run and economically viable.
Wot next. There’s to much air there or something
Problem is, like in the past, they got everything for free and burnt it, too lazy to learn, their govt doesn’t want them to be educated, because then they’ll see what a bunch of liars and cheats they are who also had no education. … no brains nation!!!
What is it next?
It’s the same old cry of Africa and Africans, “WE DEMAND!”
If we carry on like we are doing there maybe nothing to fight for. Take your wonderful opportunities while you can and be glad you are alive to do so. Be grateful we all have a story which wont be heard because we all just got on with life. Thank you South Africa,
EXPELL THEM ALL ! WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR.?
Yip! Easy come, easy go.
I am worried. I’m getting two sides of this debate from various different people on Facebook and neither side seems to be prepared to give an inch.
If both sides refuse to listen, this is going to escalate. But I’m also hoping that nonFacebook posting people on both sides are out there extending the opportunity to listen and possibly debate.
Off course stirring from a stupid never will acheive anything if life person — without BEE and AA protecting 50million against 3million
Everybody had to make their own plans.. accommodation is not university responsibility not even the food. This is family responsibility how to help their children to study.. olden days if the family did not have money to send their children to study the students had to find a job get a loan and carry on.. but of course the youths of today dont want to work.. embarrassing for them to be cleaners or waitress etc.. prefer to vandalize and strike to get what they want
Yes so lucky to attend university and for almost free, though the large majority dont have “real” credentials to be there, and with the lowering of the bar will acheive a degree — which eventually will only be of use in africa
Arrest ..lock up and throw away any chance of future study ( The key To Your Future )
Shut the place down till the idiots behave,,,,,,
Barbaric people. Barbaric culture. Barbaric country U0001f608
Close the university make it only online correspondence the days of having nice things are over
Expel them then lock them up in jail. There they will get their free accommodation they looking for.
How indeed, privileged brats, go and work for a living, or perhaps concentrate on your studies, I know, weird thought, but why are you there ?????
6500 student accomodation at UCT …. Occupied by 75% “Black” students… Whats their problem! Just mischief and trouble making ….
so they cant do maths and understand there is too many people for available accommodation – what a nice excuse to violence.
How many of them will finish 1 year let alone 3 years.
oh for heavens sake there is a water crisis, a government crisis – with an inept, thieving, incompetent president, how can you expect all to get housed while you study….. and for free?
We moving backwards
You have hit the nail right on the head. The anc has been threatening to do that for a long time. But they must be careful, the best laid plans of men and mice can go wrong. Aan die einde van die dag sny hulle n lat vir hulle eie GATTE!
Will they EVER grow up/?/ In sincerely doubt it, if they dont like white people, fine, stop wearing white people’s clothes, driving cars, stop using computers and cell phones, go back to wearing skins and walking barefoot on dirt roads. Who built the University they go to??? they dont think about all that, it’s just TAKEN as they take everything.
Don’t forget the F… Whites spray painted on the memorial sign…
Any poor excuse will do in order for them to resort to violence. That is the only way for them. They not know any other way!!!
I hope they follow through with the arrest and charges. I dont want criminals to run our country in the future. And that is exactly what these students are – You are criminals for burning things and damaging property. What a shame you bring for your parents. I would be so embarressed to call you my son or daugter.
Students I dont think so, look more like criminals. Educated people do not act like this. Arrest them all and throw away the key. There is a lot of young people that wished that they could go to varsity.
Its now just pure lawlessness!!!
are we surprised?
If they put in as much effort into their studies as they do into destroying UCT (and other institutions) and causing trouble then we would all be in a better place. Ban the trouble makers from studying there, don’t let them onto the premises and let the people that do want to study get on with it and become something in life. #protesters must fall.
Sad to see this
If this is the future leaders of our country God help us
That is not an acceptable way to protest in sympathy about anything.
In a country where you have a vote to change the status quo, USE IT.
IF he lives in res it is relevant !!
En 11000 se studie skuld is afgeskryf!
ANC PLOY to sow discontent before the elections.
Exactly what I wanted to say!
Who let EFF into the SRC
Just to add insult to injury, Brian Molefe ( CEO. Of Eskom s ) son was one of the students arrested. He’s not poor or disadvantaged. The ANC as an election ploy promised free education. The promise is now coming home to roost
My opinion… Our away the water canons and stun granades put away the rubber bullets. Take the hard line. Real guns, real arms, storm them, arrest them all. No bail. Let them stay in custody. Expel everyone involved. Clear up university and raise the criteria to apply to study.
The thing is simply housing must be paid for. I paid for my son’s tuition and housing. If I had not, he would not have got his degree and believe me, some heavy sacrifices were made to ensure the fees were paid. There was never an expectation of a hand-out. I wish I had had the opportunity to study.
The authorities need to man up and deal with the problem
Not our problem. Start working..
If they destroy those institutions for not being theirs, they must also burn their cellulars, cars, tv, play station, penicillin and you name it! Let’s be at least coherent in these pathetic attempts for anarchy!
The Question is… Does anyone want to house these brats now? Are they likely to burn your cars when the supper served is a humble cheese snackwich? Good luck with that. They are a display of rotten examples to others. This is NOT how civilised individuals go about handling a problem. It’s like a child that throws a tantrum in the shop – so do you shut them up by giving them the sweet? NO.
now we have to save more and send our kids to proper universities OVERSEAS.
Court papers on uct Web
The majority want to learn
Look how they have demolished and burnt there own school over the last 22 years and then the audacity to hold the government responsible for not being able to learn! Pls tell us where is the common sense in that or havent we got any?
That’s not fair on the students that are there to really study – just expel and remove. If they continue – arrest and convict.
Just lock them up and dont let then studie there again but they want to bs the future of our country but do this its dark for this new south africa
They want there classes yo like that SHACKS so leave the Idiots to beBURN EVERYTHING DOWN
Maybe build another 50 of those shacks to house the demonstrators! Seems they go up quiet quickly!
Debate about what these morons are destroying a university campus!! Water cannons and jail the idiots!
A lot of hooligans!!!
UCT is like any other university worldwide – they all have a shortage of beds. Do you guys want every student to get accomodation?? This would be a world first. Please get on with your studies OR……
My heart is so sore when i think about the way they behaved to draw attention to themselves – I wouldn’t give a f#ck if it hails on their stupid heads now
There you go. Meet violence with violence and be all surprised when your lessons come home to roost.
I never had the opportunity due to lack of funds …and here they are wasting such a gift of educations to better their lives……what a waste and so ungrateful!!!!
The UCT has been sympathetic to their cause for many a year, even before the present dispensation, and this is what they get for it , hooliganism. They are criminals, not students, and should be treated as such.
There is no excuse for their behaviour. – criminals, and they only understand one language.
I agree fully.
I suspect that not all the protesters are students – help from outsiders to increase the volumes.I’d also like to think that students who are serious about their studies would not be so destructive.
The father was proud he son was arrested. It builds character,he says….yeah right!!
An enlightened leadership seems to be needed. Not only in parliament BUT also at the various institutions of “Higher Learning”. It seems highly unlikely. One must bear in mind that the students of today will be the leadership of the future. Who is there to show the youth the way?
These students are apparently out on minimal bail. No doubt up to no good again. Once they have been criminally charged perhaps UCT can sue at least one of them ‘s fat cat daddy for damages.
Brian Molefe’s child one of the arrested. He found it amusing and said ‘it builds character’. Well Brian cough up for the rebuilding of UCT art collection (sadly not replaceable) , 2 vehicles burnt out and all the other damages your brat was involved in causing while he puffed up his personal.political cv so he could also join the fat cat brigade on graduating.
Agreed it’s spoilt brats like Molefe’s son causing the problems- fat cats unite
Does it never end
It will never end
Why always the violence ?And then they blame the police for using excessive force.All those found guilty of damage to property or intimidation should be expelled immediately.Have they not heard of peaceful protest?This type of thing gets no public sympathy.
Send them to wits, they can walk from Hillbrow
And there is a fat cat daddy there
You can’t debate with stupid. It’s ridiculous and has no place. Check the branded clothing they wearing. White owned companies. They should burn themselves then.
Expel and ban these thugs who are making it difficult for the real students who want to learn and earn their place in life.
Very well said. If this is now civil today then God help us in the years to come. Nothing will be left
I don’t understand how you can say barbaric country. There are millions of wonderful people in South Africa. Of which I am one of them. My taxes are used to enrich others. Even the idiots that are trying so hard to distabalise the WC. A province that runs like a well oiled engine. Like any government in any country anywhere in the world there are problems. But to say a barbaric country is unacceptable.
Not a minute too soon!
You cannot debate with anarchists.
[…] semester, UCT experienced a 3 week shutdown as students protested for the #FeesMustFall and#Shackville movements, which addressed the financial hardships as well as the housing crisis that many Black […]
