Attacks on students living off-campus has sparked another fiery protest at the University of Zululand’s (Unizulu) KwaDlangezwa campus this morning (Monday).

Following several attacks on Friday on students living at rental cottages, angry students burnt tyres and debris at the main gate to express their concerns.

According to the students, the known gang called amadabuka, which has been targeting off-campus students for years, continued their terrorising spree on Friday night.

The university issued a statement on Sunday in which it said the gang stormed into three non-accredited rental cottages, terrorised students and took their belongings.

As a result, 28 students were scheduled to undergo trauma counselling this morning.

The university has not released a statement about this morning’s protest, but all classes have been suspended by lectures.

Police are also deployed in the area while motorists are warned to be vigilant.
