Students, police in stand off at UKZN Westville

UKZN Westville has turned into a war zone following student protests on campus again today.

Capt Elizabeth Squires of Westville SAPS, said that students and police are in a standoff but couldn’t comment further.

The violence was fuelled by a WhatsApp message that was sent out yesterday which went viral on social media.

The message warned students about attending lectures today and threatened that they will face “blood, gore and tears if they dare come to the campus.”
