Protest-hit UKZN shuts down Howard College Campus
The University of KwaZulu-Natal says it's shutting Howard College Campus in Durban as a safety measure.
Management says the decision was taken after a large group of people gathered outside Gate 1.
It says no one will be allowed to enter the campus, including students with access permits, until further notice.
"The University will formally advise staff and students by way of further notice, when they shall be permitted to access and return to this Campus," says UKZN spokesperson Normah Zondo.

Meanwhile, the Durban University of Technology (DUT) says it will process late online registrations for first-year students from Saturday, 19 February, to Friday, 11 March.
