#FeesMustFall


 This was a student protest movement that was happening in South Africa in the year 2015. The aim of the moment was to stop  the increment of student fees at tertiary institutions and to increase funding. The protest was started  and led by SRC leader of the university of  Witwatersrand of 2015. The protest resulted in no university fee increases in 2016,it also resulted in property damage and arrests were made. definition
Opportunities
This hashtag can create a buzz by going viral and earn the public relations practitioner a huge following. This will work in the PRPs advantage because many parents in our country cant afford to pay for the tuition fees of their children so parents and most students will support this hashtag and they will make sure that people talk about it and it goes viral. The PRP will get to reach a large audience while promoting the FeesMustFall hashtag.



 Challenges
The challenge is that violence will take place between the students and the police and the PRP will be blamed for all of this. The PRPs reputation might be damaged if things get out of hand and that might result to career end for the PRP.The South African Department of Higher Education and Training calculated the damage caused to universities during the 2015 #FeesMustFall protests to R300 302 848.58, with the North West University's Mahikeng campus having suffered the most damage at R151m due to unrest that saw buildings torched, students shot at with rubber bullets and the university closing for a month. Rhodes Must Fall




Recommendations
-Campaigns must be made in order to discuss the issue.
-The PRP can  help by posting bursaries that can offer help.
Minister of Higher Education and Training should ensure that are there are enough bursary and scholarships that will help the students. The departments of high education and training should also take part.
