Government should address fees issues, not students: Kgalema Motlanthe

He's made the comments at public hearings in Durban today -  into the laws of the country and how they affect South Africans.

"Issues of funding of institutions of higher learning and management of that, should really be addressed by the university councils together with government. It is really not a burden we should place on students. Their main responsibility is to learn and acquire skills and education," he said.
