Wits trying to ensure academic work resumes
22 September 2016
Johannesburg – The University of the Witwatersrand’s management is trying to ensure normal operations resume at the institution.
Its executive committee met on Wednesday to discuss the violence on its campuses and to find ways to resume the academic programme, deputy vice-chancellor Tawana Kupe told reporters.
Work was suspended for the week on Tuesday evening, after students and private security guards threw rocks at one another outside the Great Hall, on the East campus. Ten students and 14 guards were injured.
On Wednesday, students threw rocks and police, who retaliated with rubber bullets and stun grenades outside the Wits Theatre entrance.
