The monopoly must come to an end!!!The Universities must not be happy to just collect money from so many students who get a terminal LLB.They have a responsibility to prepare the 2,034 (72%) students, who cannot be accommodated by Makola, for the Bar examination.These 2,034 students have not failed. They have just been denied a place because Makola cannot accommodate them.The time to end this charade is NOW!”.
