What are the real roots of the student protests of 2015–16? Why did the protests turn violent? Do the students know how to end it?

Former Free State University vice-chancellor Jonathan Jansen delves into the unprecedented disruption of universities that caught South Africa by surprise. In frank interviews with 11 of the VCs most affected, he examines the forces at work and what is driving our youth.

As by fire gives us an insider view of the crisis and tells us what it means for our universities.
