University of Zimbabwe Vice Chancellor Levy Nyagura yesterday described as blatant lies reports that the institution was planning to increase tuition fees by 100% starting from next semester.
He said the university was still charging old fees prescribed by the Higher and Tertiary Education ministry on February 8 2011.
The university was shocked to read that in the newspapers.
The sources yesterday insisted government had issued a directive to increase fees but later reneged after realising that the move could spark mass protests by students.
