DUT’s International Centre for Non-violence hosted a webinar on the recent SAUnrest. One academic said the cause for the recent unrest was a result of a huge breakdown in families and society.

“We need to put money into people's pockets. People need to get a proportion of the national income. This will encourage people to find ways of working and generating income. They will have hope. We also need to help people deal with issues of anger and frustration. There is also a lot of trauma from apartheid,” said Odendaal.

He added that South Africa is the only country with such a rich spirit of"ubuntu", and that the country has become accustomed to working at a lower level of function. Echoing the statement was Jennifer Fisher, who facilitated the webinar. She stated that anger had brewed to levels of frustration.Supporting this, Odendaal responded: “Schools needed to have a primary aim of humanizing children.”

“This is anger used as a response from the wounds of the past. We need leadership to highlight what kind of reaction we need to employ when dealing with such a situation,” said Hemson.
