Democratic Students Movement backs striking UKZN students
The South African Democratic Students Movement (SADESMO) says it fully supports the recent student mobilisations that have taken place at the various UKZN campuses.
Students there have been protesting over a number of issues - including a fee increase and the alleged sexual assault of students at the hands of members of the police.
During a media briefing in Durban earlier today, SADESMO's Sbongakonke Mhlongo said they did not condone the violence that has seen the destruction of various university buildings - including the burning down of the Howard College law library.
Mhlongo, however, says the conduct of the campus security personnel belonging to the MI7 company has left a lot to be desired.
