Bloemfontein – Tempers flared at the University of the Free State on Tuesday morning, hours after a Varsity Cup rugby match was disrupted.

Dozens of Economic Freedom Fighters supporters, clad in red T-shirts and berets, spilled onto the campus and blockaded the main gate, despite the university announcing that it had been closed for the day.

Groups of students and EFF members flocked to the CR Swart statue and set it alight. Other students chased them away.

Protesters smashed glass cabinets and spray painted the words “Robert Sobukwe Law School” on one building.
