While RMF supported him to fight the action taken against him, that is the only thing that is maybe relevant to the article. Further, Chumani is not the leader of RMF, RMF has a decentralised structure and to associate his actions in his personal capacity as a student with RMF is misleading.

an alleged fact you've pulled out of god-knows-where. You then mention "listed buildings" which seems once again to be you bringing your own personal POV in, because Mount never mentions the statue being listed as a reason for opposing its destruction.

Mabelina, I wouldn't exactly call my feelings bruised. It's more that I'm astounded that an experienced editor could make such an amazingly bad and POVish edit. The issue is that you are writing in

By reading the article as it is written now, it seems like it justifies and endorses the motives, ideology and tactics of the “Rhodes Must Fall” movement. In the “See also” section, links point to articles that asserts the supposed “righteousness” of the movement, while other parts of the text

Hi
Discott, thanks for your comment. I respectfully disagree, Maxwele has been the face of RMF and this was a major event during the protests. It's not really possible to separate the two. RMF has supported Maxwele at every stage.

OK. This needs to be explained in the paragraph and justified because from social media it appears to have the endorsement of OS. Thanks for pointing this out - the objective here is to get the full facts reflected properly.

An interviewee from the OS documentary was photographed during the attach on
Elsenburg. Therefore, OS is highly implicated in this incident. I do not think it is right to declare that OS was not involved in the attack.
