In this era where education plays a pivotal role for everyone, private institutes have also raised their admission and per semester fees.

But there is good news for future leaders, engineers, and diplomats that the University of South Africa is offering more than 50 courses and its average fee is only R12500. It is the biggest university in South Africa and has hundreds of faculty members with thousands of students.
