Student body supports UKZN protest against outsourcing
There are protests again at UKZN's Howard Campus where outsourced workers want to be employed directly by the institution.
In a show of force by students and workers, 75% of the campus had been shut down as of 11am today.
Sasco's Lwandile Mtsolo says they plan to stop all academic programmes on the campus.
