The threat extends to all students, including those from the School of Computer Science and Information Technology plus Cybersecurity and the School of Applied Sciences.

"All students are affected. Payment is a must for everyone," he insisted. "I will give you an F in exams if you don't pay."

The lecturer demanded that each student contribute R92 for a replacement phone with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB storage capacity.
