Students were allegedly barred from leaving campus following protests at the institution overnight, apparently in support of the EFF-led national shutdown.


The protestors also blocked roads in and around the Mankweng area on Monday morning.


Limpopo police were monitoring the situation on the ground with air support all over the area.


The EFF, which is leading the shutdown, wants an end to load shedding and for President Cyril Ramaphosa to step down.
