EC High Court bars University of Fort Hare students from eviction

The Eastern Cape High Court has barred students at the University of Fort Hare from being evicted from the Alice campus following a rocky protest.

Students were initially given until 5pm on Thursday by the university management to clear out their residences.

This followed a clash between frustrated students and police over unresolved governance issues and poor living conditions.
