Why friends and comrades can't understand?

Since I have enrolled for this course this year. I have been very hectic both work and my studies as the result of being always occupied with studies friends and my comrades have been complaining about my visibility in our hot spot. I have been accused of sidelining and chill not chill with them at Cubana, Mzoli, sitting in and ZAR etc.

When i decided to study i never hide to them, i made it clear to them that this will be dedicated to my studies. As if that was not enough comrades came very hard accussing me of being a sell out and not loyalt to the party, as i was not campaigning for the ANC during the Local Government elections in my constituency.

They even told me that the access, i got at CPUT was because of the ANC i deserted. I told them, they can say, what ever they want to say about me,i'm not going to stop my studies for the sake of the party that does not pay for my studies. However i can only work for the party, when i'm done with my studies. I have stop most of my activities, i have been involved in, so that i can devote my time to my studies.

 I mean my soccer team, never bothered during the week about training session and over the weekends for soccer matches as the they aware my schedule. The question I have been asking myself, why the this so calls comrades and friends can't understand that, i'm busy with studies and respect my decision to further my studies.  But i have told myself that, i will not be shaken by ignorant people whom does not know what to with in life.
