STRATEGIC USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

These hash tag helps to spread the news fast, and people get more information and update on the news via social network. The hash tag make good influence, in order words the hashtag make it easy for the practice of corporate social media to make the public aware of the information that is currently happening in the world and update. For example people who work night shift they won't be able to get time to watch news on Television or buy newspaper,so it easy for those who have smart phones because they can find almost every information or news on social networks.



RECOMMENDATION

In the future government and the organisations in the country should agree to this matter. In a way that organisations should consider helping the student by giving back to the community. For example they can provide intern ship, loans and bursary especially for those who are in need financially or can't afford to pay for university of college fees. University should work together with student by charging student fees by first looking at the income the parents receive. Because many parents are working and many student can't afford to pay for their fees due to the income that their parent receive.

  5. The free education movement will not succeed, the reason being that universities must pay tutors and lectures. If we have free education who will pay lectures and tutors and where will the money to pay them come from.

    1. I also agree with you gladys when it comes to the payment of lectures and tutors, that is the reason on my recommendations included that the government must contribute financially to universities. The movement can succeed with government's help.

  6. Concerning the xenophobia issue, people who partake or encourage such violence are not aware that through their behavior they cost South Africa to lose al ot of money and investors because thought this crisis will course the economy of South Africa to collapse and so they pulled out in endorsements and business deals to save what they have.
