Academic activity at Rhodes University remain suspended until further notice as anti-rape protests are set to continue today.

Hundreds of students and some support staff gathered at the drama department on Prince Alfred road inside the campus since Monday, demanding immediate action by university management against the people identified on an anonymous ‘reference list’- a list of the names of alleged rapists and sexual offenders.

The list which circulated on social media sites on Monday has been forwarded to the university's management.


The protesters demanded that these individuals be suspended from the university immediately and later be expelled.
