Cape Town - Students from the Rhodes Must Fall movement went on the rampage at the University of Cape Town on Tuesday.
The students, frustrated with the housing crisis and other challenges, set historic paintings and a plaque from the Smuts Hall residence alight at the foot of Jameson stairs.
The students also raided the dining hall at Fuller residence, and stripped the hall of its decor and paintings.
A Jammie Shuttle was set alight on Lower Campus, another was damaged in a stone-throwing incident and the office of the rector, Dr Max Price, was set alight.
Eight students were arrested.
Cape Argus photographers David Ritchie and Henk Kruger captured these powerful images.
