Universities South Africa (USAf) unequivocally condemns the arson witnessed at the University of Fort Hare

Universities South Africa (USAf) unequivocally condemns the acts of arson witnessed at the Alice (main) campus of the University of Fort Hare (UFH), where the Main Administration building, the Student Affairs building, the Agriculture building and a newly completed campus clinic were deliberately set ablaze during this week’s student protests.  The USAf Board of Directors feels that no level of students’ emotional distress or dissatisfaction—however deeply felt—can ever justify the torching of university infrastructure.
