We spoke to Funzani Matsila, a Fees Must Fall Activist and a member of the Soweto Women's Forum, about the importance of social activism. 


Matsila says in her activism, she fights for a society that offers free decolonised tertiary education, as well as gender and racial equality. 


In response to Matsila, Mark Heywood from civil-society organisation Section 27, says young people have every right to demand change. 


He believes young people have the right to hope for a better future, as this is a promise made by the Constitution.
