What really happened during the University of Limpopo exam?
Students from the University of Limpopo, believed to be from the School of Education, walked out during an exam earlier this week.
Social media timelines were ablaze after a video of a large group of University of Limpopo students collectively walking out during an exam made the rounds.
Initial reports suggested that the students walked out because the exam questions were too difficult.

I think the University of Limpopo students who walked out of an exam because the questions were "too difficult" should share the question paper with us. Publish it kids so we can see if they were asking you to get yourself to Mars in 1 day.

Other sources suggest that the students walked out because they were given the incorrect question paper.

A spokesperson from the University of Limpopo dodged the question when interviewed by the SABC, saying the investigation is ongoing and he can't comment on what exactly happened until it is concluded.
