Madonsela’s office said in a statement that she would pledge towards the #FeesMustFall crisis because there was a need for corporate South Africa to join the search for solutions to the fees crises.
“As long as there is injustice somewhere, sustainable peace cannot be experienced anywhere. Education is important in the delivery of the constitutional dream of the freed potential and improved quality of life of all,” Madonsela said speaking at the IUA –United Communal Fund fundraising dinner in Durban.
“Education is a key component for a country’s progression, therefore when we collectively work towards educating our young persons; we actively and jointly contribute to a South Africa we all want to see because young people carry the dreams and hopes of our people.
"We ought to take cognisance of the fact that South Africa is a relatively rich country with innovative young minds that can help address today’s problems.”
University students across the country have been protesting since Monday.
This after Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande announced a 8 percent cap of university fees hike.
