JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA: Mcebo Dlamini, a prominent leader of the "Fees Must Fall" movement, addresses students at Solomon Mahlangu Hall at Wits University on September 26, 2016, prior to demonstrations. The nationwide student protests continued to escalate, demanding free tertiary education and opposing proposed tuition fee increases at South African higher education institutions.
JOHANNESBURG: September 5, 2016, supporters of then-President Jacob Zuma, including members of the (ANCYL) African National Congress Youth League and the (MK) Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association, formed a human barricade outside Luthuli House, the ANC's headquarters. Many of the protesters were dressed in military-style camouflage and vowed to protect the building from what they called "sellouts."
They were defending the president against a group of anti-Zuma protesters who accused him of being responsible for the ANC's worst electoral performance since the end of apartheid. The August municipal elections saw the party lose control of key metropolitan areas. The anti-Zuma faction cited widespread corruption scandals and a faltering economy as the reasons for their dissatisfaction.
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania – Supporters of an opposition party gather in Mwananyamala, Dar es Salaam, in February 2018 to listen to a Member of Parliament (MP) candidate during a re-election campaign. The rally, held in the context of the Kinondoni by-election, was part of a planned march towards the offices of the National Electoral Commission (NEC). As the demonstrators proceeded, police reportedly intervened, firing stun grenades, tear gas canisters, and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. The chaotic confrontation tragically resulted in the death of Akwilina Akwilina, a student at the National Institute of Transport (NIT), who was reportedly hit by a stray bullet while traveling in a public transport bus in the vicinity of the demonstration. Her death sparked widespread outrage and calls for investigations into police conduct.
