Police say three students were arrested on Friday night, after a computer lab was set on fire. They also allegedly threw stones at security guards. 


Police spokesperson Thulani Zwane says another four were taken into custody yesterday morning. 


He says the students have also contravened a court order obtained by the university against any violent protests.


"The seven  students will be appearing tomorrow at the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate's Court. The police are still in the area monitoring the situation," he said. 


Zwane added that police also received information of petrol bombs allegedly being made in some student residences.


"As a result police proceeded to search the residence for the petrol bombs, but could not find anything," he said.
