Students from both the Nelson Mandela Drive and Zamukulungisa Heights campuses in Mthatha have expressed their frustration as they had to sleep on chairs in the hall.

They were evicted from campus on Tuesday after two days of violent protests in which they were demanding NSFAS money, registration, a graduation ceremony and accommodation.

They say they are awaiting a response from the university’s management regarding their demands.
