Three weeks after a devastating arson attack and violent unrest crippled the historic University of Fort Hare , Vice-Chancellor Professor Sakhela Buhlungu has issued a scathing rebuke of law enforcements failure to act decisively.
The university, whose alums include Nelson Mandela, Oliver Tambo, and Robert Mugabe, suffered extensive damage, estimated at between R300 million and R500 million.
Several key buildings, including the main administrative and student affairs offices on the Alice Campus, were petrol-bombed, leaving the institution reeling.
