President Jacob Zuma has
reported that there will be no increase in university tuition fees for 2016.
His address comes after a
meeting with student leaders and university officials following a nationwide protest
against increased fees.
Thousands of students had
travelled from around Pretoria and Johannesburg to attend the demonstration,
which gradually degenerated into violent scenes at a fence erected on the south
lawn separating the students from the Union Buildings. President Zuma said
“On the
matter at hand we agreed that there will be a 0% increase of university fees in
2016”
