notes: On 17 March 2021, about 100 students blocked the entrance of a university with desks and chairs in Durban (eThekwini, KwaZulu-Natal) after the campus manager failed to appear for a scheduled meeting to address demands made by students. The car of a university employee was damaged after a desk was thrown at it. The police used water tankers to disperse the group. Several demonstrations regarding student's financial exclusion were registered across the country since 9 March 2021 and a national university shutdown was announced by the South African Union of Students (SAUS) on 14 March 2021.
