Nelson Mandela University is mourning the death of a student following an altercation between him and an off-campus private residence manager.
In a statement on social media, the university said the student had previously stayed in this private residence in Central.
“The university is shocked and condemns this senseless act in the strongest terms,” the statement says.
“The residence manager has been charged with culpable homicide and Nelson Mandela University is assisting the Humewood police station with the investigation.
“The university will also conduct its own investigation, in line with its service level agreement with private, off-campus residences.”
This is a developing story.
