Cape Town - UCT student activist Chumani Maxwele has come under fire after pictures went viral of him in a tussle with a feminist student during a protest, as members of the Fees Must Fall (FMF) movement fought each other.

FMF member Thenjiwe Mswane said she had been assaulted when she attempted to disrupt a protest by other members of the movement at Wits University on Monday. She says she was surrounded by men, kicked, punched and dragged away from the protest.

She said political parties had hijacked the protest, and had excluded feminist and queer members. In pictures, protesters are seen wearing EFF and PASMA clothing.

Maxwele has denied the allegations.

During the protest several classes were disrupted and a fire was started in a lecture venue. The university has since issued five suspension orders and all non-Wits members identified who were involved have been barred from the campus.

Additional security has also been deployed.

Mswane said she was told by a protester that feminists and the queer community were not to be involved in the FMF protests, after a meeting to discuss the way forward for FMF was held at the weekend which excluded them.

Using a sjambok, she disrupted the protesters by hitting the floor with it and shouting, making reference to what she alleged was a sexual assault of a female student.

‘‘We didn’t know on whose mandate they were doing this (protesting). It is clear that there were no queer or feminist bodies present,” Mswane said.

“This does not discredit the movement. We are recognising the influence of politics and the infiltration of some form of political agenda using student bodies,” she said.

She said footage was being collected to decide if legal action should be taken against those who allegedly assaulted her.

Maxwele has denied he assaulted Mswane at the protest. He said the group of protesters had become agitated by her disruption.

“We have a principle of not stopping other people who are protesting.

“Some people got angry and tried to hold her sjambok. I was trying to stop them from pulling her. This is a smear campaign. We don’t condone any violence,” he said.

Maxwele still there? Is he ever going to finish 'studying'? Who's paying for him to be there for decades?
 
that Chumani can be a good ANC spin doctor spinning like a top even when evidence is nudging his crooked face.
 
A protest happens and its not led by feminists? Well then lets make feminists the victim. Why am I not surprised that the feminist MO doesn't change between America, Europe or Africa. Different continents, same leftist BS ideas.
 
Put them all in a closed space and let them eat one another. The world will be a FAR better place.

:D

That's the sound used in every horror movie ever for any creature burned by fire or acid - especially creatures not designed to vocalise, like the big spider in Arachnophobia. :p

Can I get help from a liberal left cultural Marxist or anybody on if queer is also an offensive term?

Only if used in a derogatory manner to refer to effeminate males.

They were not leading the protest as they were still busy making the sandwiches

You know how n****r used to be offensive, but now black people are bringing it back?
They're trying to do that with the word queer.

I'm not sure, but I think it might also be used as a catch all phrase for LGBTLMNOP these days

And calling Cape Town a queer city?

Depends what you mean by that, in other words the context. If you're saying it in a condescending, derogatory way to imply that the men of cape town are all effeminate then that is offensive to the men of cape town! If you're saying it's an odd little place stuck under a mountain then that's not offensive at all!
 
RMF kicks Maxwele to the curb

Cape Town - Rhodes Must Fall has decided to turn its back on student activist Chumani Maxwele after he allegedly assaulted a feminist during a protest at Wits University this week.

Maxwele, regarded as one of the founding members of the movement at UCT, came under fire after pictures of him tussling with Wits student Thenjiwe Mswane went viral on social media.

Student activists protested under the banner of #FeesMustFall (FMF) at Wits University on Monday, shutting down the university.

Men were photographed accosting Mswane after she attempted to disrupt the protest.

She said at least five men choked, kicked and punched her.

On Wednesday, RMF member Mohammed Abdulla said the movement no longer regarded Maxwele as a member.

However, Chumani said the RMF fallout was all due to a power struggle. He still considered himself part of RMF.
