We are done explaining ourselves - Qwabe
Johannesburg - Controversial Rhodes scholar Ntokozo Qwabe on Monday said activists, such as himself, were done explaining themselves.
"I think a lot of us reached that point where… from the beginning that we’ve been involved in the movements we are involved in, we have been asked to explain ourselves constantly and that is not good because it drains us," he told reporters in Rosebank, Johannesburg on Monday.
"We would rather put energy into actually doing what matters and doing the work on the ground."
This comes after Qwabe, who was one of the leaders of the Rhodes Must Fall movement, made headlines following an incident at Obz Café in Cape Town last month.
He sought to clear up reports regarding the incident which he called "tip gate", saying it was not him who wrote 'WE WILL GIVE [A] TIP WHEN YOU RETURN THE LAND' on the till slip.
