The leadership of the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) applauds law enforcement agencies for the swift arrests made in connection with the arson attack at the Oval student residence on the Westville Campus in Durban, on Monday.
This building is in the process of being closed due to severe health and safety regulation breaches that the
University is currently dealing with. Fortunately, no one was injured in the attack.
Two arrests have already been made, and more arrests are expected in connection with the torching of the building in the early hours of Sunday, 11 October. Investigators said the two (currently unregistered) students, aged 24 and 25 are facing trespassing, arson, and attempted murder charges.
