The video could not be loaded.
Protesting University of Fort Hare students were caught on camera chasing down a cow, moments before butchering it. The university reports that two cows were killed after students hacked off meat while the animals were still alive.
The incident took place on Wednesday during the ongoing violent protests at the university's Alice campus. The 20 second-long cellphone footage, which has been circulating on social media platforms, shows a crowd of students chasing the animal.
The video is followed by an image of a dead cow covered in stab wounds. When DispatchLIVE arrived at the campus on Wednesday, students boasted that they had slaughtered the cattle while carrying away meat butchered from the carcas.
The students are protesting over National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) funding related issues.
