The Durban University of Technology has gone to court for a second time to stop protesting students disrupting academic proceedings.The Durban University of Technology has applied for a second court interdict against the EFF Student Command after protests during which DUT had to close four of its campuses in Durban last Thursday.
Last month DUT was granted a provisional order against members of its student representative council as well as members of the EFF Student Command, some of whom are also respondents this time around. “The first is to bring to an end the violence, intimidation and destruction to property on DUT campuses, and the second is the reopening of the campuses that have been closed as the result of violence and damage. In the absence of these campuses reopening, there will be severe prejudice to students.”
The university called for EFFSC branch secretary Sibongumenzi Mdlalose, who was also a respondent in the February interdict, to be barred entry into any campus without a written application.
