"I can confirm that the university property was damaged last night. A case has been opened and no arrests have been made," said Captain Thulani Zwane.
According to student leaders at the university, a lecture hall was completely destroyed and the student representative offices, the library and computer labs were also damaged when students allegedly stoned them.
"The lecture hall was burnt down and several buildings including the library, computer labs, and dining halls were damaged. "Police had to fire rubber bullets to disperse students," said ANCYL branch chairperson, Thabani Mthabela.
Xolani Ngwezi, the secretary of Inkatha Freedom Party-aligned student wing, Sadesmo, said the SA Students Congress (Sasco) was behind the damage.
