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”
