Abstract
The year 2015 and 2016 marked a period of heightened turmoil for the universities in the
Western Cape. The three leading institutions in the province were each affected by student-led
protest during that year. The Rhodes Must Fall Campaign occurred at the University of Cape
Town (UCT), followed by Luister at Stellenbosch University (SU) and later the Fees Must Fall
Campaign happened at the University of the Western Cape (UWC). Of the three universities,
UWC was the most affected by the student-led protest in the province. Aside from the financial
costs incurred by the physical damages to the university, the effects of the movement also lead
to the extended shutdown of UWC in 2015 and again in 2016.
