Nzimande asks MPs to answer fees questions in writing
13 October 2016
Cape Town - MPs let Higher Education and Training Minister Blade Nzimande off the hook on Wednesday after his request to answer their questions on the ongoing fees crisis in writing was granted.
Nzimande and his department appeared before a joint meeting of both the National Assembly and National Council of Province's higher education committees to address its 2015/16 performance.
For almost an hour following the department's presentation the 16-strong MP bench lobbed question after question at the minister on both the department's performance and the current crisis.
"Chair, with your permission, can I come back to these questions," said Nzimande adding a request that he "officially submit them in writing".
