Police deployed to WSU’s Mthatha campus as students protest murder-accused residence manager being granted bail

JOHANNESBURG - Police have been deployed to the Mthatha campus of the Walter Sisulu University (WSU) on Wednesday morning.

This is where students have embarked on demonstrations over bail being granted to a residence manager accused of murder.

Manelisi Mampane was arrested following the fatal shooting of student Sisonke Mbolekwa during a protest in April.

The fifty-four-year-old is facing charges of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

On Tuesday, he was released on R10,000 bail, leading to anger amongst the student population.
