The students allegedly damaged the doors to the businesses and stole soft drinks from a delivery truck during the protests. The UL students refused to give their cooperation when the police arrived and the police had to fire rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.
Students from the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) Polokwane campus also joined the nationwide protests over fee hikes.
