Rubber bullets, private security and a court order: Latest on NMU student protest

GQEBERHA – Student protests have reached a third day, with no end in sight yet as clashes over registration, accommodation and funding continue at Nelson Mandela University in Gqeberha.

The students started protesting on Thursday. A private security company is on campus and students hurled stones at them. In response, the private security company fired rubber bullets. 

Nelson Mandela University has subsequently obtained a court order, barring the students from any destruction of property, interruption of institution programs and emphasising lawful protesting guidelines.
