Reading Time: < 1 minute

The University of Zululand‘s main campus KwaDlangezwa in eMpangeni on the KwaZulu-Natal north coast has been closed until further notice after student protests turned violent.

The decision has left many on-campus students stranded after being ordered to vacate the campus.

This after students went on the rampage and clashed with police while protesting over unpaid allowances for meals and transport.

They allegedly overturned a police vehicle before setting it alight.

The university has released a statement saying the temporary closure is to ensure the safety of its property and minimise threat to the lives of staff and students.
