Former public protector Prof Thuli Madonsela has called on politicians to stop meddling in university internal affairs, saying they have done enough polarising the country for parochial political gains.
As most universities commence with their classes today, several student representative councils (SRCs) are racing against time to use funds they have raised to help students with historic debt to register.
A total of 26 university student representative councils will receive a donation of R30m from the Motsepe Foundation towards student registration, fees and historical debt.
