Timeslive reports that the University of Fort Hare in the Eastern Cape has had to cancel what it had hoped would be the last leg of its mid-year examinations as they have been disrupted by ongoing wage protests.  

University spokesman Khotso Moabi said the university called off exams on Tuesday because of the disruption and noise caused by members of the National Education Health and Allied Workers' Union (Nehawu)‚ who were picketing near the campus.  "We are consulting SAPS on what would be an acceptable way for Nehawu to exercise their rights but allow the exams to proceed‚" said Moabi.  Outside the university building‚ students held their own meeting.  They were believed to be planning to ask university management to abandon the last leg of exams and "donate" marks to the students.
