Tragedy grips Wits university after three suicides in three weeks By Lesego Makgatho Three Wits University students have died from suicide in the past three weeks. A statement released by the Wits University’s Student Representative Council highlighted the issue of mental health and its impact on the student body. The SRC attributed the suicides to the pressure placed on students by the university. Wits SRC president Mpendulo Mfeka said the misconception was that these students took their own lives because of academic pressure. “This is not the case with this particular three as they were doing quite well academically. The LLB final year student had marks way above 70%, the BA dramatic arts student was in the final year, and the third student was doing a Master’s in pharmacy. They were doing well and they were well funded,” Mfeka said.
