A Durban University of Technology student has died at the Steve Biko Campus, allegedly after being shot by protection services.

It is believed a scuffle broke out between students and security.

Protection service members then fired three shots.

The student later died in hospital.

Another female bystander is believed to have been shot.

Police have opened a case of murder, but this might later be changed to an inquest hearing.

Cue 'but we weren't doing anything, it was a peaceful protest'.

Young impressionable imbeciles being used as outrage canon fodder.
It's not cool man.

So to avenge this one student you will no doubt bring the campus to a grinding halt with burned out libraries and destruction.

RIP. Poor kid, militarised, and let loose in a world he had never been equipped to understand. All that EFF war talk must have gone to his head.

The students were expected to hand over their memorandum to vice-chancellor and principal Prof Thandwa Mthembu and they vowed to stage a protest until it was accepted. The situation remained volatile but under control on campus.

"As usual we will stay at the sports centre from 9am till 5pm. Management have locked students inside and they want to see us forcing our way inside. They want to see all glasses being destroyed," said an EFF student leader, who didn't want to be identified, via a loud hailer.

“We are not here to destroy. But if they are not allowing us to enter, we are going to the vice-chancellor to submit our memorandum. If they want us to destroy comrades, we're going to destroy. We're not afraid. No matter which system they come with, we know the system. We can't allow the system to brutalise us. We’re very clever by the way, comrades. We're powerful," he said.

In all likelihood the security guard was being attacked by a mob of these idiots and had no choice but to fire.

The EFF needed their martyr and this poor young fool gladly threw his life away for their idiotic cause.

Well, this may be good news for the future and only university in South Africa. The University of Oranje aka Trump University.

According to radio reports , security was being pelted with rocks.

Will be denied of course.

Earlier in the day;

EFF protesters attack ANC-aligned students with sticks at DUT

ANC-aligned South African Student Congress (Sasco) students were involved in a scuffle with EFF Student Command students during a protest at the Durban University of Technology on Monday.

A security guard at the Steve Biko Campus in Berea said they had to intervene during the scuffle between the two rival student organisations after several Sasco members were allegedly assaulted with sticks by the EFF members who accused them of interfering with their protest.

The EFF students, who were marching through the campus, threatened to destroy university property if management did not accept and address their memorandum.

The students’ concerns are believed to be related to the ongoing issue of a shortage of student accommodation and NSFAS funding.

They want to see all glasses being destroyed,"

“We are not here to destroy. But if they are not allowing us to enter, we are going to the vice-chancellor to submit our memorandum. If they want us to destroy comrades, we're going to destroy.

Those who will be seen disrupting the students’ programme, we’re going to deal with them.

A TimesLIVE reporter was prevented by angry students from taking video footage and pictures of the protests, with some arguing that they had been arrested in the past because of video footage shot by the media.

As usual, the EFF were being the violent thugs we all know them to be and at the end of the day their bad behaviour had consequences.

If these Marxists want to behave like thugs and hoodlums, they deserve to be treated like thugs and hoodlums.

Zero sympathy from my side. Bad life choices lead to bad outcomes.

Red berets and t-shirts make excellent targets, just like the British soldiers in the Anglo Boar War ... just saying.

The radio mentioned the individual who got shot was throwing rocks at an admin staff member injuring her.
