Members of the Black Students Movement at Rhodes University called for the university to change it's name, questioning the decision to uphold colonial oppression and injustice for the sake of a 'brand'. This protest was arranged by Rhodes students to show solidarity with UCT students last week who called for a statue of Cecil John Rhodes to be removed from their campus #RhodesMustFall
