A UJ student was fatally shot at a year-end party at a student residence in the early hours of Saturday morning. A manhunt is underway for the person responsible for his murder.
The memorial service was an unofficial gathering to remember the student that passed on.
“We threw a year-end party for the students, supplying food and cold drinks, which we do every year. No alcohol is allowed. I am told at between 1am and 2am when the security guards told the students the party was over, they attempted to get to the top floor to an entertainment area but were refused access. They pushed forward and a security guard fired a shot,” Affordable Housing Company (Afhco) Renney Plit said.
