Fees must fall protest

Despite of South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma agreeing to no tuition fee increase next year for universities, students have committed to continue protesting this – with a new demand of free education. Last week, students accelerated their #FeesMustFall protest, marching to the Union Building’s in Pretoria, and Parliament in Cape Town, where they clashed with police on both occasions. Now students of the University of Witswatersrand (Wits) are calling for this year’s exams to be postponed indefinitely as they continue with protests. Today on the show we look the implications of the no percent increase and look at the ongoing strike. African Dialogue’s Benjamin Moshatama spoke to Khaya Nkwanyana, the spokesperson Of the department of higher education and training, Kagisho Mamabolo spokesperson of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS)and Luzuko Buku, the South African Student Congress (SASCO)Secretary General.
