Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande has announced that it will be up to universities to decide their own fee increases for the 2017 academic year but has suggested the increase not be more than eight percent.
The government will however assist qualifying students to fund the gap between the 2015 fee and the adjusted 2017 fee at their institution.
The minister made the announcement in Pretoria today.
Nzimande says their recommendation follows extensive consultations with university vice chancellors, council chairs, student organisations and government.
The minister says government has committed to finding the resources to help children of poor, working and middle class families.
