UKZN: Lectures continuing despite robberies
The University of KwaZulu-Natal says lectures are continuing at all campuses, despite some media reports stating that they have been suspended.
The university's Normah Zondo says they are aware of concerns over safety and security, following two robberies this month.
Just over a week ago three men entered the main library at Howard College and stole laptops and phones from a group of five students.
Last week, police arrested two suspects in connection with a robbery at a residence.
Zondo says there is also no truth to reports suggesting the varsity cannot afford to hire more security personnel.
"The institution is actively taking steps to strengthen its security measures. In fact, the university is in the process of hiring 20 new RMS staff members and has plans to bring on board an additional 20 in the coming months."
Zondo says they are aware of individuals who're trying to disrupt classes.
"UKZN is committed to ensuring that all academic processes continue undisrupted and that teaching and learning proceed as usual."
