About 1 500 students and supporters converged on Durban’s Curries Fountain Stadium ahead of a planned #FeesMustFall march on Tuesday.

Apart from an unconfirmed report that fire extinguishers were set off at the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Howard College campus, no incidents were reported at the various tertiary institutions in Durban on Tuesday morning.

Lectures at the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Howard College and Westville campuses resumed on Tuesday after they were suspended following violent protests on Monday.

There was a heavy police presence at both Howard College and Westville campuses. Speakers who addressed the students urged restraint and for the march to be peaceful.

It was understood that the marchers were set to head to the Durban City Hall where a memorandum of demands was due to be handed over.

Organisers said on Monday that students would march on the harbour. It was not immediately clear if this would materialise or whether marchers had permission.

There was a heavy presence of Public Order Policing Units, eThekwini Metro Police units, police officers on horses ‎and various other police units.

Lectures at the Durban University of Technology also appeared to be continuing despite the march.
