Student union threatens year-long shutdown over free higher education
25 July 2016
Johannesburg - Students are prepared to go on a year-long holiday should President Jacob Zuma not institute free education from next year, South African Union of Students president (SAUS) Avela Mjajubana told News24 on Sunday.
The commission of inquiry into the feasibility of funding free higher education chaired by Judge Jonathan Heher from the Supreme Court of Appeal was given eight months to conduct its investigation into free education in January.
It was expected to submit its final report to Zuma no later than two months after completing its work.
Mjajubana was speaking after a two-day SAUS national executive committee meeting.
