Despite a minor incident at UKZN's Howard College Campus earlier today, it's fairly quiet across most campuses in Durban today.
It's been more than three weeks of protests - many turning violent – over student demands for free higher education.
Police at UKZN's Howard College Campus
earlier questioned three men - who are said to have been spotted
on CCTV footage disrupting classes.

They were taken to the RMS building to view and verify the footage, and were thereafter released.
The students explained that they were walking on campus when security allegedly grabbed and manhandled them.
