Following reportedly violent protests at the University of Limpopo last night, police arrested six students at the Turfloop campus, but three have since been released, reports Capricorn FM.
Police have confirmed that there was no damage to building, but say that students burned rubbish bins around the campus.


The picture painted by students and people on the scene on social media has been a completely different one to what police have told.
Two students were allegedly killed during a blackout after being hit by rubber bullets and others have been severely injured.
One student alleged that “police shot at us while we were sitting on the balcony doing nothing”.
