Three buses were torched at the University of Zululand
Six vehicles, including three buses, belonging to the University of Zululand were torched last night following ongoing protest action on campus.
According to sources close to the university, damage is expected to run into several million rands.
A staff member said that the vehicles were completely gutted and that it included a brand new 4X4 bakkie that had not yet been registered in the university’s name.
While protest action at other universities across the country have centred on student demands for fee-free education, staff at the University of Zululand have been on strike since August 15 protesting over low pay, among other things.
