*'Low-income Civil Servants Have Never Afforded Them At One Go', Murwira Justifies Varsity Fees Hike* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?yv Higher Education, Science and Technology Development, Innovation and Tertiary Education Minister, Amon Murwira has defended the recent tuition fees hike by local universities. Murwira on Monday told the Parliament’s portfolio committee on Higher Education, Science and Technology Development, Innovation and Tertiary Education that it is a fact that low-income civil servants have never been able to pay fees for one semester at a go. He said: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Murwira also said that the current tuition fees being paid in the country are the cheapest in the region as they are a mere 30 per cent of what other universities are charging. *More: ZBC News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
