Fort Hare University Vows to Rebuild After Campus Unrest
The University of Fort Hare council is heartbroken by the devastation caused by recent unrest at its Alice and East London campuses.
- Buildings damaged include administration, staff, and agriculture buildings in Alice.
- Students have been displaced due to the unrest.
The council expressed relief that no lives were lost during the unrest, which followed weeks of student protests over safety, governance, and housing conditions.
We recognise the immense shock, grief and anxiety this has caused, especially for our staff and students.
To support the community, the university has activated comprehensive counselling and psychological services through human resources and the student counselling unit.
