\"Why<\/a>#FeesMustFall represents issues far larger and more deep-seated than the escalating cost of tertiary education in South Africa.\u00a0As\u00a0Eusebius McKaiser usually writes\u00a0for the New York Times about the fall of the statues and then the call for fees to be slashed: \u201cBut they miss the point. The core issue is a prevalent feeling, and experience, of exclusion among many black students in universities across the country, even where they are a numerical majority.\u201d<\/p>\n

I think you can rightfully extrapolate this without much fiddling to represent what is happening in the world of travel media and tourism in South Africa too. Black voices are a minority here, and token in some cases, in a country where they form a majority. A majority who does not, and if things are left as is, will never on the whole, have an opportubity to experience and travel through South Africa. This is a world where PR events and media launches remain lilly-white, and \u201ccool\u201d blacks are pounced upon to include in \u201crainbow nation\u201d social media images.<\/p>\n
