ANA reports that the University of Johannesburg (UJ) on Monday clarified that the security guard who allegedly murdered BSc student Kelvin Baloyi was not their employee.
In a statement, the university said it was working with the police to investigate the incident that led to the death of Baloyi. He was shot in the face last Saturday allegedly by private security while attending a year end party at off-campus student accommodation. On Friday, a number of students marched to UJ to submit a memorandum outlining their concerns about private security and police on campus. The University said that in recent months it had received criticism regarding the conduct of private security on its campuses and management condemned any unlawful conduct of security services. It added that it was its duty to ensure additional security measures “enable us to fulfil our responsibilities to secure life, protect property and ensure minimum interruption to the core business and the completion of the academic programme.”
