In this episode of The Wokey Dokey Podcast, we sit down with a bold and outspoken student leader who pulls no punches as he tackles the harsh realities of student life in South Africa.

From the frontlines of student politics to the frustrating battles with NSFAS, he shares what it really means to represent the youth in institutions where funding delays, academic pressure, and rising living costs are the daily norm.

We dive into:

• The current state of NSFAS and its failures
• How financial exclusion is destroying futures
• The role of student leadership and SRCs in fighting for the voiceless
• The mental and emotional toll of juggling poverty and academic expectations
• What real change looks like — and who’s holding it back

This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about more than just university life — it’s about the survival of a generation.
