The student protest at UKZN’s Edgewood and Westville campuses looks set to continue for yet another day.
A major strike is apparently underway at both campuses, with reports on social media of black smoke rising from the Westville campus.
A string of tweets about the strike seems to suggest that the strike continues despite a statement from executive director of corporate Relations Lesiba Seshoka released yesterday which stated that lectures would resume at all campuses at the university.

I think the University management is so deaf and stubbon how can they allow protests to take so long. Deploying police and red ants I presume have seen not solving the problem. Negotiations is a solution and remember that 70 percent of students are financially disadvantaged black young ones who deserve better education and they need the university support. I am a masters degree student I fully behind the students
Appealing to the UKZN please stop this madness about increased registration for 2015, remember you are not running a business but offering a service to the country, a country that is developing with half of the people who are poor so do not be ignorant or will have to be arrogant because we will not let you do this to us. our parents are depended on us to change their lives after we qualify (students, parents, communities lets unite and fight this ) donot be against some students can hardly afford 3250 how are they going to afford 6500 or 9000 HELP STOP UKZN FROM EXPLOITING THE disadvantaged poor students who are in no state of affording this reg fee that includes all races in SA including foreign strudents
aw tht z unfair how we gonna afford tht money viva azishe
