The campus has been closed for the past two weeks after a protest over National Student Financial Aid Scheme allowances turned violent.

Students were then ordered to vacate university premises.

In a letter by university vice-chancellor Rob Midgley, addressed to the "Mthatha campus community", he said the campus would reopen today.

He said he believed the situation on the campus was now conducive for academic activity to recommence.

"Staff are requested to continue performing their duties as they have done this week.

"Students will be allowed back onto the campus from [today] and the normal academic programme will commence on Monday."
