Dr Lubna Nadvi shares some insight into the #FeesMustFall student protests at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal (UKZN). Speaking from Howard College campus, where she is based, Nadvi expands on some of the grievances of students, the recent surges in violence and clashes with campus and private security, and the university shutdown.

Nadvi places emphasis on the importance of university communities coming together and communicating in order to find sustainable solutions to the fees crisis in South Africa’s higher education sector. 

We also chat some students about their opinion of the recent protest action at UKZN.
