Studies

Mojela, a young intelligent man from the rural areas of Lephalale Municipality matriculated in a low class school in Lephalale called Mananye High school, in 2007 the lives of many learners from the working class background were endangered by dangerous animals which was seen on their way to school, the learners of the working class were walking more than 8 kilometers in bushes to and from school whereas the ones from the upper class were using private and public transports. Mojela together with fellow learners tried to raise the issues with the stakeholders of the school but there was no fruitful resolution on the matter, after several discussion with the institution's stakeholders, himself together with other affected learners decided to embark on a mass demostration to adress the problem they are facing in a loud voice, they then started a march from the 22-24 of September 2008, the march was joined by many learners even the ones from neighbouring villages, the started their march on the 22 of September in the early hours before the lessons starts, the angry affected learners burned tyres, blocked the ways to enter the school, ran amok, as a disciplined comrade he appealed for calm and to stop violence as it may lead to serious criminal charges, the teachers ignored them on the first day but the next day they then called the police to intervene, the police came in numbers as if it was the 1976 riots, they spoke to Mojela together with other organisers of the march but never reached a palatable solution, as a legally orientated person he argued based on his and other learner's constitutional rights, the police and the Student Governing Body then decided on the arrest of the organizers, they were then taken to the police station for 7 hours, later after the arrest the ANC leaders of Lephalale spoke to the police to release the poor students who were seven in number, the ANC had a meeting with Mojela and the organizers of the march and they promised to adress the matter with the department of education, the following day which was the 24 of September, the learners came to school early in the morning with an aim of gathering to march for the release of the fellow learners at the police station, lucky enough they were released the previous night, Mojela then decided to calm the students down and gave them feedback of the meeting they had with ANC, the learners then understood when he told then to return back to school as the trial examinations was also about to begin. The learners went back to classes and everything went smooth from that day as if nothing happened. After he matriculated in 2008, the learners where given transport from and to school in a form of buses, as he was in Pretoria doing his first year in Law his phone was overloaded with messages and calls to say thanks for you action we are now safe as we have transport, he gained trust from the communities and teachers and some even consulted him when they have problems at school
