Cape Town - More University of the Western Cape (UWC) students have been arrested as violent protests at the campus continued for most of Wednesday.
Earlier riot police had attempted to restore order to the Bellville campus after students started fires at several university residences on Wednesday morning.
Exams, which were meant to take place, were halted at both the Bellville and Cape Town campuses.
News24 reporter Tammy Petersen said Lorna Magobiane of the #FeesMustFall movement told her that 11 students had been arrested in total. This included the five students who were arrested in connection with the assault on campus staff earlier in the day.
UWC spokesperson Luthando Tyhalibongo said a female security officer was also threatened at knife-point.
By late afternoon, there was a tense standoff between at least 100 students and police.
