The Namibia Economic Freedom Fighters (NEFF) have called on tertiary institutions across the country to stop asking for registration fees with immediate effect.

In a media statement, NEFF cites the Namibian Constitution, which guarantees each Namibian the right to education.

"However, most people are denied this right due to the fact they do not have money to pay for higher tertiary education," reads the statement.

The political party has asked all tertiary institutions to do away with registration fees as they infringe on the right to education. The party says it will mobilize the community, including students, to demonstrate should higher education institutions fail to heed its call.

NEFF further demands that students who have already paid registration fees be refunded.
