Clashes continue between students and police at UKZN PMB
Updated | By Khatija Nxedlana
Clashes between protesting students and the police have resumed at the UKZN Pietermaritzburg campus, after the situation had earlier quietened down following a day of unrest.
This morning, clashes broke out between protesting students and police - with a female having to be taken to hospital after getting shot by what's thought to have been a rubber bullet.
By mid-afternoon, groups of students had resumed throwing rocks at police - who retaliated with teargas and rubber bullets.
A fridge filled with beer bottles was also set alight at the entrance to the university.
