The university of cape town responded in this manner when one of the black lectures Xolela Mangcu in the university told the cape times about not having enough black lectures or professors .The statistics were only five out of the two hundred professors were black.Other brands reacted this way as the EFF leader Julius Malema also agreed with the fact that the statue of Rhodes must fall. A month later after all this drama the statue of Rhodes was removed from the university. From my point of view I feel that this situation should have been handled in the decent manner without causing other people from other places to start destroying or painting the white people statue they should have arranged the meeting and come up with the decision and remove the statue and put it to one of the museums.

The public relations in the act
As the public relations practitioners our job is to protect the reputation of our company or organisation.This matter should have been dealt with before it gets out of hand. But in this case it seems the racism is taking place in this university so that why black students started protesting because they felt that the apartheid is still there at their campus when taking look at the university structure and on the other hand the is the statue of the white men situated in the university.I think the university of cape town should hire more black lectures just to try balance the race within the organisation. In that way everyone will feel free.students celebrating
