Workers at UNISA and DUT - among others - have downed tools demanding better wages and working conditions. 

Spokesperson, Khaya Xaba says no agreements have been reached.

"The strike action is going ahead because of the deadlock at all universities - with demands of 7.5% increase at UNISA, workers are still demanding 10% at DUT," he says.

Students blocked roads outside UNISA in Durban yesterday saying the strike has left them unable to register.

The university said earlier in the week that it remains open to salary negotiations with the help of the CCMA. 

Meanwhile, DUT is expected to provide an update on the industrial action there today.
