This time, KZN police have confirmed that at least nine vehicles were set alight at the University of Zululand last night as unrest continues at universities across the country. 



Late last week, two buildings were torched amid protests at UniZulu - which have been going on for over a month. 



The police's Thulani Zwane says officers at the Mthunzini Police Station are investigating a case of arson.



"Yesterday around 10:00am it is alleged that these vehicles were set alight, together with the shelter belonging to the bus terminal. There has been no arrest made at this stage and the matter is under investigation," he said.

The entrance to the William O'Brien res was set alight at about six this morning. 


Firefighters managed to extinguish the blaze.


In Tshwane, the protest intensified as students marched to the Department of Higher Education offices in the Pretoria CBD.
