Nzimande outraged after nine students attacked, murdered in one month

Busiwe Notyawe, Sesethu Dweba and Asanda Ngubo were enrolled for the N5 management assistant and financial management course at the college’s Heath Park campus in Qgeberha, the department said.

“The students were socialising at Kwazakele when an unknown gunman [allegedly] forced the door of the house open and fired shots at them. The motive for the killings is under investigation,” the department said. A week before the trio’s death, Tshwane University of Technology student Ntokozo Xaba’s friends found her dead in her room. Xaba, 21, had stab wounds on her neck. Her former boyfriend was arrested.He also appealed to all students “to be more circumspect on and off campus, and equally called upon all the institutions to establish institutional community safety and security forums to discuss safety issues affecting institutions and the community at large”.

“We must recognise our post-school education and training sector is a microcosm of our greater society. This is clearly demonstrated in the manifestation and in many instances of reproduction of social pathologies on our campuses such as rape and violent murders, mostly against women,” he said. Nzimande sent his heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased students, their friends and the institutions where the students were enrolled.
