Pietermaritzburg - University of KwaZulu-Natal students unwilling to embark on strike action on Thursday are trapped in residences as riot police skirmish with protesters.
Striking students set fire to entrances at the William O'Brien men's residence in Pietermaritzburg, and used furniture to blockade the entrance to the Malherbe men's residence.
Running battles with police were also reported.
A student, speaking to News24 on condition of anonymity, said he was afraid to venture outside.
