Fort Hare looters ‘reduced a legitimate protest into criminality’

The #FeesMustFall student protest took an angry turn at the University of Fort Hare (UFH) when hundreds of students broke into a bookstore and looted study material worth thousands of rands at the Alice main campus on Monday. Scenes of vandalism and looting played out on the campus as students protested in the rain outside and inside the campus‚ and later stormed the locked Van Schaik bookstore and plundered the stationery.
