University of the Free State student Eckhard Binding has told The Citizen that he only persisted with his attempt to throw away litter during a protest on campus last week because he was trying to set “a good example”.
One vocal video blogger, Renaldo Gouws, in response has even go so far as to tell EFF supporters they are “a problem”. Binding said he hadn’t really thought through why he was doing it too much, and only contemplated it fully afterwards. “The whole incident was about 30 minutes long. The video clip itself only captured the last minute or so.”
He said he had received pledges of money, reportedly at least R10,000 from strangers, along with a bursary, since the clip became famous, “But I haven’t received the funds just yet. There are actually numerous people who have wanted to donate. I think if we’re going to have a look at how many people, it’s quite a few from all over the world … Dubai, Canada, USA … who want to donate.”
Now we will never hear the end of this sensationalism through anc paid influencers.This was just a stunt by the young boy under instruction of an adult white did the boy become a hero because of a stunt than people fighting against illtreatment of staff?
