Student movements have historically been much more than organisations operating within
university campuses. Across different countries and generations, students have emerged as important voices
in debates about education, democracy, inequality, social justice, human rights and political change.
Universities bring together young people who are often highly engaged with social, economic and political
questions. This makes student movements an important space where young people can organise around
issues affecting both their immediate environment and wider society. Research describes student activism as
a potential training ground for democratic citizenship, while also highlighting its ability to connect campus
concerns to broader national debates. Kefentse Mkhari is in conversation with SASSFE Management
Committee member, Dr Mzwanele Ntshwanti and SASCO NEC member Tarik Lalla
