As President Jacob Zuma and other dignitaries were singing struggle songs inside the university’s main hall in celebration of Fort Hare University’s 100th anniversary‚ students stole their food and vandalised the marquees outside.
“I am stressed‚” said a Fort Hare staff member who didn’t want to be named. “I don’t know what these people are going to eat.
“The students looted the food and took all the pots. So it wasn’t just the marquees that were being vandalised. The police came too late.”
The students also destroyed a service provider’s property worth R6-million. “I have lost so much money on this thing‚” the person said.
Public order police had to stop angry students from entering the university’s main hall. A police spokesperson did not disclose how many public order police officers had been dispatched to the university. — Tiso Black Star Group Digital
