Njengoba aqokwa ngoNhlo lanja njengoNgqongqoshe wezeMfundo ePhakeme No kuqeqesha, uNaledi Pandor  unikezwe umsebenzi wo kuqalisa uhlelo lwemfu ndo yamahhala kwaba mpofu kanye nalabo abazi wa njengezitshudeni ezingo ndingasithebeni.
Kulandela izibhelu zika zwelonke ngaphansi kwe siqubulo esithi: #FeesMu stFall , kwamenyezelwa  ngoZibandlela ukuthi intsha  evela emindenini lapho u mholo wakhona ungapha nsi kwezi-350 000 zamarandi ngonyaka izothola imfundo yamahhala ezikhungweni zemfundo ephakeme  nokuqeqeshwa.
