Johannesburg - Just hours after musicians AKA and Simphiwe Dana offered their support to protesting students at Wits University (read more on that here), more celebs have come forward, adding their voices to calls for university fees to be reduced.
Celebs, like many of us, have been watching developments on campuses across the country and have been touched by images of protesting students.
Many of them took to social media to voice their opinion on the matter in their own unique way- from posting pictures of protesters in police vans and holding signs reading "Fees must fall" to writing messages of awareness.
I know what it feels like to drop out coz of fees.

As AKA pointed out this week, we cannot look to celebs for leadership during the protests but at least they are making their voices heard.
