VUTANA reports that teaching is expected to restart at the Vaal University of Technology (VUT) after violent student protests saw lecture venues and administration buildings torched.  

The institution suspended academic activities three weeks ago after rioting students allegedly torched buildings and damaged property in week-long standoff with the university’s management.  They were demanding the removal of the campus security company and the lifting of suspensions of students that faced criminal charges, among other grievances.  Deputy Vice Chancellor Segopane Seroka said a meeting was held with all parties over the weekend and students committed themselves to full compliance with the conditions as contained in a high court interdict.
