Notes

1 Following the lead of #WitsFeesMustFall the previous week, a group of concerned students, organised under #StelliesFeesMustFall, occupied an administration building on the Monday and attempted to shut down campus throughout the week to protest against a proposed fee hike of 11.5%. Hours before Zuma would announce the zero fee increase on the Friday, Stellenbosch University rector and vice-chancellor Wim de Villiers would do the same at a mass meeting at the intersection of Merriman and Van Ryneveld streets.

3 We use 2005 South African rand as the base year because a more recent base year is not consistently used across all indicators.

4 This is a lower-bound estimate. Using a different consumer price index deflator, we find that this factor increases to 3.2.
