PICS and VIDEOS: UKZN professor attacked with brick as more violence erupts on campus | Daily News

Durban - Chaos and bedlam erupted at the University of KwaZulu-Natal Westville campus on Wednesday protesting students blocked the campus roads leading into the university with burning mattresses and attacked a professor with a brick.

The students, protesting against paying 15% of their historical debt fought running battles with private security guards who tried to disperse them with an anti-riot vehicle. However in some videos shared on social media on Wednesday, the students can be seen climbing on top of the anti-riot vehicles.

A professor became the latest casualty in the bitter dispute between students and university management on Wednesday. The professor, who was attacked is believed to be in his 70s and usually arrives at the campus early in the morning.

mheidtman DailyNewsSA Absolutely despicable behaviour from ill disciplined rioters that weren't capable of entering a tertiary institution anyway. Should arrested, charged and forced to work labour colonies for the betterment of SA

DailyNewsSA Stupid question but where is SAPS? So many laws being broken but no arrests, no riot police to protect staff and students who want to study, what about their rights?

DailyNewsSA Condolences to the family of Prof. It’s disheartening to read such done by students in 2020. With all the intellect they claim to possess, surely there has to be another way to demonstrate their dissatisfaction. Why kill the poor Prof😡

DailyNewsSA These so called students should not get new mattresses, they don't deserve to be treated like humans!!!

DailyNewsSA Expell the students UKZN

DailyNewsSA Presidential pardon loading...nothing to worry about here.

DailyNewsSA 'Bitter dispute', my foot. 'Students' burning mattresses, fridges and buildings, assaulting a 70-year old with bricks is just barbaric. Uncivilised people do not deserve university. Shut these students out, do not engage them, send in the police and carry on with classes.

DailyNewsSA R dis kids proud of wht they doing thr , i guess class of 80's was the last to get good education from home n schools too. They will never be a justification for such its stupidity case closed.

DailyNewsSA Yo yo.. but what are the parents saying about this situation? if your child is there and you know there classess are suspended due to ongoing violence, why dont perants call their children back home? Just dont understand this..

Abramjee DailyNewsSA Thank you MYANC and CyrilRamaphosa look at the positive work you are achieving.

Abramjee DailyNewsSA And our leaders are quiete. I sense more harm here!

Abramjee DailyNewsSA All I can say is these are not intelligent people. They don't want an education. Time to kick them out and give their spaces to people who are intelligent and want to learn. Getting an education is not a free ride gravy train, it is hard work!

DailyNewsSA Criminal activities. Must be expelled

DailyNewsSA Where are the days, when you stepped out of line, you were asked to go to anor institution, its time for admin, to ignore court ordered reinstatement.

DailyNewsSA This is barbaric behaviour. I am so shocked that government are not putting a stop to this. Our education system is failing because no one is taking a stand against these students. These are universities not shebeens.
