JOHANNESBURG - Radio personality Anele Mdoda and Olympic swimmer Roland Schoeman got into a heated Twitter exchange over #FeesMustFall.

The ongoing university fees protests have garnered support from a number of well-known South Africans, with AKA and singer Simphiwe Dana marching alongside Wits University students on Tuesday.

To think you call yourself a motivational speaker, when the only people you can motivate are those that came from privilege @Rolandschoeman

@Anele Twitter is a powerful voice. I'll happily sit in a room with you and discuss these topics.

@Rolandschoeman Hey we should. I have so much to bring you up to speed on. It is not rosy at all, and all to blame.

@Anele I think you missed my statement where I said. If you choose to protest then fine, but allow those who choose to attend classes to go

— Roland Schoeman (@Rolandschoeman) October 20, 2015

@Rolandschoeman I did not but this is you not understanding that is the nature of protests because you have never had to beg for anything.
