Mahikeng - The North West University (NWU) has arranged alternative accommodation for students staying at the Mafikeng campus after two buildings were set alight on Wednesday night.
NWU Rector, Dan Kgwadi, says the university had to ensure students' safety.
Two buildings, a car and motorcycle were set alight last night following sporadic clashes between students and security during the day.
The clashes started after students, allegedly belonging to the EFF student command and supporters of the dissolved Student Representative Council, disrupted management’s inauguration event for twelve newly-appointed SRC members yesterday.
Kgwadi says students from residences were housed at the town’s Civic Centre overnight but have been urged to go home today as this was a temporary solution.
Kgwadi could not say when the Mafikeng campus would reopen.
