Fort Hare has been plagued by murder, assassination attempts and academic fraud, dating back months, if not years.
"We were saying this in our meeting with the minister that there is a culture of fear," Abbott said."When you speak about a culture of fear it's often people who are fearful for their jobs to speak out.
"Why does a lot of what is happening in Fort Hare not come out? [It's] exactly because of that, your job is one thing but when it is the life of your family, it is a whole other game and that is a very sad situation that we find ourselves in."
