“One or two protesters threw petrol bombs at a truck parked on the university premises. There was no severe damage to the truck and no one was injured,” he told Rekord.
The university remained closed on Monday after shutting its doors last week as workers took to protest against the outsourcing of staff at the institution.
Workers, including security guards, cleaners and catering staff, were demanding permanent employment at various universities and a wage increase of R10 000 per month.
