3 buildings torched at Rhodes University
Eastern Cape - Fires at two exam venues and the tennis club at Rhodes University have been extinguished following an afternoon of violence at the Grahamstown institution on Wednesday.
Student publication Activate editor Mako Muzenda told News24 the situation on campus had calmed down considerably after a dramatic day that saw stun grenades and rubber bullets fired.
Two exam venues, the Hangar and the Alec Mullins Hall, suffered minimal damage when fires were started this afternoon.
The blaze did extensive damage to the tennis club before it was extinguished.
Reports on social media also indicate that police earlier opened fire on student medics and that two people had been injured by rubber bullets.
