Twelve University of Fort Hare students have been arrested for allegedly torching and damaging university property. The University launched an investigation after a sports centre was set alight last night at Alice campus. It is alleged that the incident was triggered by some of the students" dissatisfaction over what they said was a congested exam time table. Meanwhile, the University of Fort Hare in the Eastern Cape has confirmed that mid-year exams scheduled for this afternoon will continue as planned despite the fire incident at one of its exam venues at Alice campus. University spokesperson JP Roodt tells our colleague Sidima Mfeku that student bodies were consulted ahead of the exams.
