Yesterday morning, students at the Westville campus went on the rampage, overturning another security vehicle - leading to classes being suspended.
The university's Lesiba Seshoka says the situation is calm now at all their campuses, and classes have since resumed. However, there's still a strong police presence.

But Seshoka says nothing has been proposed at this stage.
"Council will meet on the 14th to have a discussion on various issues. As to whether that's part of the agenda I wouldn't know. Usually council meet around November to finalize their proposal for fee increases. As yet, there hasn't been any proposal tabled," he said.
