Jansen said the inquiry, headed by a senior judge, will look into the causes of tension on campus and suggest preventative strategies.
“We’ve very senior set of legal people just trying to find out what led to this thing, what actually happened and what were lessons learnt going forward.”
A culpability report is also underway to determine those responsible for the violence.
