THE ongoing student protests at UKZN campuses have led to the campus management’s decision to bring the September recess period forward.
Twenty-two students appeared at the Durban Magistrate’s Court facing charges of public violence and not complying with a court order after they torched six cars and a building on the Westville campus recently. They each received bail of R200.
UKZN’s vice-chancellor and principal, Dr Albert van Jaarsveld, said, “The university will be closed from Wednesday, 7 September until Monday, 19 September.”
All lectures will resume on Tuesday, 20 September.
