The police were called in to disperse a group of protesting students who set tyres alight outside the University of Zululand, in northern KwaZulu-Natal, on Monday morning.
The protest comes as the EFF Students Command and the South African Students Congress (Sasco) called for a shutdown of universities on Monday.
Universities throughout SA are bracing for a national shutdown as protests over fees gain momentum.
Unizulu spokesperson Gcina Nhleko said the entrance to the main campus in Richards Bay had been blocked “but police have assisted with dispersing the crowd”.
