KwaZulu-Natal spokesperson Nqobile Gwala said the arrested students will appear in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Thursday facing charges of malicious damage to property, illegal gathering and public violence.DUT closed its campuses over concerns about students flouting Covid-19 regulations by invading the sports centre on the Steve Biko campus in Durban.
“Following the risk to health, safety and security, the university suspended on-campus support for online registration yesterday, indefinitely,” DUT said.“Simply, the influx of uninvited people on campus continues to violate the Covid-19 protocols. Overnight, a significant number of people continued to occupy the sports centre and refused requests to leave campus.
“It has become clear that the situation is tough to contain and it is being exacerbated with increasing numbers of people trying to force their way onto many other parts of the Durban campuses. This also poses a bigger threat of Covid-19 infections.
