The University of Free State on Monday announced that it was suspending academic activities.
An SMS sent to students read: "UFS Bfn Campus closed 23-24 Feb 2016 due to strike and protest. Safety of staff and students our priority."
Students had apparently gone on the rampage and vandalised two men's hostels. Unconfirmed allegations from insiders were that white students were being assaulted on campus.
This comes after a video, reportedly taken on campus on Monday afternoon, showed rugby players and supporters assaulting a group of protesters who had gone on to the field, disrupting the FNB Varsity Cup rugby match between the UFS Shimlas and the Madibaz.
Protesters have entered onto the rugby field during the Shimlas vs. NMMU Varsity Cup game.
