Several celebrities this week joined protesting students against the increase of tuition fees, while others showed their support for the cause via their social media accounts.

Earlier this week, some ZAlebrities were accused of trying to hijack protests for publicity, but it has become clear that many are showing genuine concern.

DJ S’bu, Pearl Thusi, AKA and Simphiwe Dana are just a few mzansi stars who participated in the various marches.
