UKZN says more security retained to ensure academic programme continues: More than 2,000 University of KwaZulu-Natal students are yet to be allocated to residences.

Mfundo MkhizeThis has sparked fears that some may not be able to meet the March 10 registration deadline amid protest at the Westville campus on Monday.

“Students who still require accommodation are encouraged to seek accommodation in private residences.”She added that despite the disruptive protest on Monday, university management were engaging the student leadership. “Most of the students are without accommodation. All the private accommodation [establishments] are full and we do not have the financial means.”

“We want to get back to lectures and study. But we cannot do that if we lack accommodation. The management knows about this and they just do not want to get to the bottom of things,” said Majozi.Majozi said the university was accountable for two SRC members from the Edgewood campus who were arrested two weeks ago.

He said this was their last resort at raising their concerns. They were unhappy when the university secured a “substandard” building in Addington, near South Beach.
