The University of Fort Hare has vowed to track down, discipline and possibly expel students behind Sunday’s looting and burning rampage on its Dikeni campus. Protesters caused damage running into several millions of rand when they set fire to the university’s indoor sports centre foyer, looted foodstuffs from the cafeteria and smashed windows of a computer laboratory.
The Wits University Students’ Representative Council (SRC) and management have agreed to a mediation process and in the meantime allow academic programmes to continue as scheduled.
