Two University of KwaZulu-Natal buildings petrol bombed
Two buildings on the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Howard College campus have been petrol bombed, police said on Saturday.
Police spokeswoman Brigadier Sally de Beer said the two incidents happened at about 8.30pm on Friday night. The building housing the HIV support unit was petrol bombed, as was the student residence affairs building. Police were investigating two cases of arson.
She said no arrests had been made and no one was injured in the subsequent fires, which were extinguished. Another two unused petrol bombs had been found and removed by police.
It appeared calm at the campus on Saturday morning and members of the public order policing unit were monitoring the situation on the campus.
