Acting National Police Commissioner Khomotso Phahlane says for as long as there is violence and intimidation on university campuses, officers will remain deployed to enforce the law.

The lieutenant general provided an update on the violent demonstrations which gripped campuses across the country in Pretoria yesterday.

Phahlane says the police would have no reason to be deployed to universities where there is stability, order and where classes aren’t being disrupted and that officers will exercise maximum restraint.
 

Phahlane says the situation should be settled through negotiations.
