Potchefstroom - Tensions ran high at the University of the North West in Potchefstroom during a stand-off between white and black students over the feared removal of a statue of Afrikaans poet Totius.
Following a meeting with NWU Vice Chancellor Dan Kgwadi, where the issue of the statue was discussed, a group of white students surrounded Totius, in a bid to protect it, according to a student who was part of Reform PUK.
Black students stood in front of them singing struggle songs.
NWU's Professor Johannes Froneman confirmed that there were students "protecting" the statue.
