The Durban University of Technology has been closed until further notice, after a student was shot dead on campus.
The 20-year-old student, who is also a member of the EFF, was allegedly shot during a scuffle with a private security guard on campus.
Police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbele says about 30 students blocked a road on campus pelting people and vehicles with bricks and rocks.
She says an administration assistant and one security guard were injured during this incident and they called for back-up.
Four students have been arrested and will appear in court soon.
The name of the student who died is not yet public.
