2 March 2020
A police van was petrol bombed after protests turned violent at the University of Zululand in KwaZulu-Natal on Monday morning.
"This morning, a police van was allegedly petrol bombed by protesters. It is alleged that while police officers were busy dispersing protesting students, the police van, which was parked off-campus, was petrol bombed," police spokesperson Colonel ThembekaMbele said.
While the police are monitoring the situation, the university said it would shut down the KwaDlangezwa campus, where the violence emanated.
Protesting students said they do not want an SRC administrator. This after the SRC was dissolved because of allegations of gross misconduct in late 2018.
