Kelvin Baloyi was allegedly shot and killed by a private security guard at his university approved off-campus accommodation in Rissik Street called the 'The Yards'.

 

The security guard is yet to be arrested.

Students say Baloyi is not the first to die due to the negligence of UJ management.

 

They will deliver a memorandum to management, demanding the immediate removal of 'bouncers', a stop to the victimisation of student leaders and a stop to the brutalisation and criminalisation of students at UJ.

 

Police have warned students that they will fire rubber bullets if they get within 100 metres of the campus.
