University management informed the students to vacate the premises via a Facebook statement:
‘The business of the university was disrupted this morning by an unruly mob that threatened to burn the university property.
‘Management has the responsibility to safeguard the life of its students, staff and property.
‘In light of this real and existing threat, the management has decided to suspend teaching and learning on the university campus with immediate effect.
‘To ensure that students are not caught in the crossfire, all students must evacuate the campus premises immediately,’ said the statement.
However, the decision to close campus have seen many students from far areas being stranded with nowhere to go.
‘We are fighting about the safety of students, but then the same students are thrown out into the same community which terrorises them,’ said Bongiwe Mvelase (22).
Others echoed the same sentiments, saying they are now even more vulnerable being off campus and fear they will be victims of criminals.
