"Africa on its' own lack the capital necessary to exploit electronic forms of communication or even use those forms in order to protest!" -Stanley Malematja

The Breakfast Team looked at this new wave of protesting that has been sweeping through the continent in the past decade and has been heightened recently though hashtag driven protests that have been getting the attention of the world.

Hashtags like #ZimbabweanLivesMatter, #EndSARSNow, #CongoIsBleeding and #ShutItAllDown have dominated social media and have forced governments to come face to face with the rage of citizens over issues of Human Rights violations.

Catch up on this conversation between the #OnTheGoBreakfast Team and Attorney leading the Right2Prostest project coalition at the Centre for Applied Legal, Stanley Malematja.
