Thuli Madonsela’s Thoughts On The Fees Must Fall Protests

Former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela speaks to Radio 702’s John Robbie about her thoughts on the fees protests. Thuli says government must improve the quality of education should fees fall.

In her words she said: “If fees must fall, something must rise”

Government needs to help respond to calls for free higher education, as universities cannot do so alone, former public protector Thuli Mandosela said on Wednesday.

The starting point for negotiations about free education would be for all affected parties to listen to students, she told a gathering at Solomon Mahlangu House (Senate House) on Wits University’s East campus.
