Protests continue at Rhodes University
Rhodes University
NATIONAL NEWS - Rhodes University in Grahamstown has suspended all academic activity today following an anti-rape demonstration that led to a confrontation with Eastern Cape police this morning.

Three students have been arrested and the main road leading into the university has been closed by students who say lecturers and management have failed to act on allegations of sexual violence.

The protest follows the release of the so called RU Reference list in which the names of 11 men accused of sexually harassing students was published on social media and around campus.

Students protesting against rape celebrated as they were told that classes will be suspended for the rest of the day.
