DURBAN - MORE than 500 frustrated students from Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT) embarked on a violent protest yesterday, demanding that the institution resolve its registration issues.
The students blockaded both sides of Mangosuthu Highway and the university’s main entrance with refrigerators and burning tyres.
According to KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Captain Nqobile Gwala, the protesters also threw stones at police officers who were at the scene.
Gwala confirmed that a 24-year-old suspect was arrested for public violence.
The university announced on Tuesday that it would be closing due to the ongoing workers’ strike that started last week.
