Several university campuses have been shut down following the announcement by Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande that universities should determine their own fee increases for the 2017 academic year. Students have been waging an aggressive, uncompromising campaign for a zero increase. Instead, Nzimande recommended that the hike did not exceed eight percent.But more poor students will be subsidised. The announcement follows a report by the Council on Higher Education on next year's fee adjustment. A presidential commission of inquiry into the feasibility of fee-free higher education is still underway. For more news, visit: http://www.sabc.co.za/news
