The University of Fort Hare in the Eastern Cape will resume teaching online from Monday following the recent violent unrest and destruction of property on its campuses. Students have been calling for SRC elections and a change in university management - among other things. Management says its top priority is the safety of staff and students while ensuring the 2025 academic year is protected.
A Recovery Plan has been presented to Senate and the Extended Management Team to guide the restoration of operations. The university is also engaging with student representatives to address their concerns.
Further discussions are planned with Parliaments Portfolio Committee on Higher Education next week. Blended learning is expected to begin from the 27th of this month.
