Vaal students arrested after setting residence building alight

[ponder]

The concept of burning things is apparently unique to SA. And it has its roots in the 1970s ANC. I was told by people from Zim that the lot in SA are the only ones who do the burning thing.

I can believe this as there is no sign of such things as burnt tyres on the Zim roads (maybe the brutality of the ZANU PF has something to do with it) I went on but each town, suburb and dorp I passed through in SA recently has at least one road where the telltale circles and wire etc of burnt tyres were evident. Oh well.

when I was growing up it never crossed my mind to set something alight as you respect other peoples property.

When you were growing up you were taught to respect other people and their property.

There is no hope for this place.

In a normal world it would be expel them, charge them, make them pay for losses, jail them.

On the plus side, each new batch of youths are less and less likely to take your job.

“It’s saddening that the students are now in jail because they came here to get an education.”

Kak, being in jail IS their education. They don't know how to handle their little tempers in a basic conflict, so now thay are being educated that there are consequences for it. Let them rot there.

See what happens:

Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Why did our generation respect other people properties?

 

[ShaunSA]

Good. Wtf needs education. Burn them all down!

 

[Howdy]

Bill them for cost to repair and take it from their nsfas

No, they must pay from their nsfas back, plus all damages and costs related to it plus admin fees. Then use it to give others more deserving a chance.

Why is this almost every time the go to thing to do is burn stuff, hell when I was growing up it never crossed my mind to set something alight as you respect other peoples property.

It's militant culturalism inspired by revolutionary teaching. My wife had to stop a young woman who should never have had the job anyway from setting her desk alight when she had a disagreement with her boss.

gives one a slight glimmer of hope to know the new generation still appreciates a bit of Bloodhound Gang music:

Correct. South Africa even has a public holiday to celebrate the burning of schools inspired by the ANC in 1976.

African solution to everything: Burn it down!!!

Believing your own prejudices is a very easy thing to do.

Is the arsonist an example of what they refer to as a Black Diamond?
