Two students at the Western Cape College of Nursing in Athlone have been injured and a number were arrested when violence erupted during a protracted strike over conditions at the campus.
The protestors went on the rampage this morning and intimidated non-striking students.
Reports say police opened fire with rubber bullets.
Officials met with students on Tuesday to discuss their grievances, following protest action at the campus.
Striking students have made several demands, including that their in-service working hours be revised.
Unhappy students have refused to return to their lectures despite being told that their actions would force the college to shut its doors.
The students said they were tired of being ignored and that they were taking a stand.
