While Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan was delivering a speech that favoured #FeesMustFall, protestors were destroying property outside of Parliament. John makes a note of a powerful Icelandic protest by women who ended work 14% earlier in a protest against being paid 14% less than their male counterparts. Could SA learn something from this example in how we protest?

The split in the ANC has been visible for some time now, despite the reassurances from the top officials. With the Finance Minister due to speak today and cover more cracks, John fantasises about what could happen if the Minister actually spilled the beans and told us the truth about what’s really going on.
