List of demonstrations at the University of Cape Town

1968, August 14–22, University of Cape Town students, with the support of many staff, held an anti-apartheid sit-in for 9 days, taking over the Bremner Building (administration). They protested government intervention that pressured the university to rescind its appointment of a "non-White" professor, Mr. Archibald Mafeje. The protest crumbled after the final night, when anti-protestors stormed the building with weapons and dogs, and photos of some protestors were passed around to create targets for the anti-protestors.
