Service delivery protests at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology Bellville campus have turned violent as protests continued for a third day.

Police and students clashed yesterday, as rubber bullets were fired.

The Student Representative Council issued a statement in which it vowed that "commotion, brouhaha and 100 percent breach of peace are going to rule the day until management deliver on our demands".

Spokesperson for the campus Norman Jacobs said that the institution would issue a statement today, as the meeting between Mazwi-Tanga and student leaders was ongoing.
