DURBAN – The newly formed University of KwaZulu-Natal education crisis committee has called for an investigation into allegations that the institution’s private security company, Mi7, may be complicit in acts of violence and criminality at campuses.
The protests, often turning violent, have been on going for close on a decade and have severely affected the university’s image and its ability to raise funds. Buildings and vehicles are regularly burned, windows smashed and other property randomly torched.Students who do not participate in the protests report being threatened and intimidated if they do not join the marches.
However, it was also agreed that allegations of the involvement of Mi7 needed to be scrutinised alongside investigations into the criminal behaviour of some students during the flare-ups. In fact, he added, anybody involved in the affairs of the university and against whom serious allegations had been made should be investigated “to bring the matter to finality”.
