Students on Thursday were ordered to abandon a South African university, leaving behind smoldering buildings after protests turned violent. North-West University said protesting students burned an administration building and science center at the campus in Mafikeng on Wednesday night. Student protesters across South Africa are calling for lower tuition, more student housing and efforts to erase remnants of South Africa’s racist past.
