As you may now notice, I have found a slot in Bloggers' busy schedule to upload some of the photos I have been wanting to upload for WEEKS now. Today, we take a trip back in time.
A few weeks ago, I was going on about people striking whenever it suited them and I was quite irritated. I found these pictures, with regard to the Jammie Shuttle strike at the University of Cape Town. I'm all for a progressive democracy, but I couldn't understand why the SRC put forward the motion that the students should support the drivers' quest for more money. I had two objections. Firstly, the drivers work FOR the students, and secondly, it was an inconvenience to us. Why should I support something that inconveniences me? I did some research and discovered what the SRCs of previous years have got up to at UCT. Here are some photos.
Here are some photos of students at UCT in the 1970s protesting the right to education for all.

Some other images I wanted to upload are my advertising campaign for TeleFm. Here goes...
Nope, maybe next time. Blogger is back to its nonsense again. How wonderful, although I didn't do so badly today, did I?
Bye.

YAY, something to entertain me during my free. One thing though, is the chicken the group shot of this year's SRC? Speak to you later.
