There have been a series of protests against fee increases at universities across South Africa recently. These protests began when a tuition hike was announced for 2016. It appears that they government has backed off now:
Pretoria, South Africa (CNN)South African universities will not increase fees in 2016 as planned, President Jacob Zuma announced Friday after days of student protests over the issue.Students celebrated, but many posting on social media said fees remained too high and worried about what will happen after 2016.

As I understand it the movement is still going on. There have been some interesting developments. After a demonstration at parliament the other day 200 students were arrested and charged with treason and terrorism for going to parts of the parliament area closed to the public. They were later released, but the generally repressive attitude of the government has led some of the students to raise the slogan "ANC must fall". As the film below shows there have also been attempts to connect with workers. Bus workers came out in solidarity and provided free transport to the demos, and I think there have also been attempts to link up with low paid staff at the universities.
