As violent clashes between police and striking University of KwaZulu-Natal students in Pietermaritzburg continued on Thursday afternoon‚ university leaders have vowed to ensure that those who cause damage to property will be arrested.In a statement issued at about midday‚ spokesman Lesiba Seshoka said: "Presence of security services on all campuses has been bolstered and every attempt is being made to keep academic activity on track. Anyone found to be in contempt of the High Court Order will be arrested and charged." During protest action earlier this month - when‚ among other things‚ the law library at the university's Howard College was set alight - the university went to court to interdict students from‚ among other things‚ damaging property‚ blocking entrances to UKZN property and congregating in "unlawful gatherings". Since Thursday morning‚ students protesting against possible fee hikes for 2017 have been involved in running battles with police. Students have reportedly stoned vehicles and police officers‚ and even threw teargas canisters from their residence windows. Police returned fire with rubber bullets‚ teargas and stun grenades - with one student struck on the right arm‚ seemingly by a gas canister. Seshoka said the situation was quieter at the university's Durban campuses. "Academic acitivity on the Westville‚ Edgewood and medical school campuses are continuing without disruption. There are reporters of small groups of protesters disrupting some lectures on the Howard College campus‚" he said. A student activist who is privy to discussions at the university has told TMG Digital that the protest action there is about more than #FeesMustFall. "What you must know is that in UKZN‚ they are not only fighting the issue of free education‚ their issues... They are fighting with the vice chancellor who refuses to respond to their demands starting from NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme)‚ racism within the campus‚ residences and many other issues‚" said Sthembiso Shandu.He is currently at the University of KwaZulu Natal's Pietermaritzburg campus‚ where he has joined with protesting students calling for free educational for all. "The students have submitted memorandums and have been striking since August‚ and till today the vice chancellor has never responded to those demands. The only thing they are told is that their issues are going to be debated by the council of which they have also postponed the dates of discussing the demands‚" said Shandu. "At the moment the students are striking and they are trying their best to join students across the country's journey to say that the free education struggle in this country is very close. According to Shandu‚ Malherbe Residence students started revolting around the campus and also set fire to gates and blocked entrances into the building they set fire on. "We have been seeing a clash of police‚ private security and the students. As I speak to you know‚ the UKZN Pietermaritzburg campus is a war zone... police are throwing teargas and students are being shot at with rubber bullets."Dramatic video of a student injured in the exchange emerged on Thursday.The nasty looking wound is clearly visible in the footage that also shows paramedics treating her near the scene of the shooting as fellow students shout‚ "This was not a rubber bullet‚" and "She was not striking".- TMG Digital/The Times..
