Outrage over death of ‘innocent bystander’ at student protest
Share
Johannesburg - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa led the chorus of outrage from the country’s politicians following the death of a government employee during a student protest outside the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) on March 10.
The man died as students and police clashed in Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
“Mthokozisi Ntumba was an innocent bystander and, indeed, even the students, much as they were protesting, the way I saw it on television, did not warrant the type of resistance and push from the police,” said Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa said he had asked the Wits University Council and its management as well as the relevant law enforcement authorities’ agencies to provide an explanation on what caused this tragedy, and to take whatever steps needed to ensure justice was done. ....

On Thursday, Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation Blade Nzimande outlined plans for additional funding for students in higher education. This comes amid widespread outrage over the death of 35-year-old Mthokozisi Ntumba, who was killed when police opened fire on unarmed students protesting at Wits University on Wednesday. The police allegedly opened fire and Ntumba was hit as he came out of a nearby healthcare facility.
During a post-Cabinet briefing, Nzimande expressed his condolences to Ntumba’s family, friends and colleagues.“I have directed that the Wits University Council, the Wits Management and… relevant law enforcement authorities provide us with an explanation on what caused this tragedy, and to take whatever steps to ensure justice is done and appropriate responsibility is accorded.”  ....

Wits VC pleads with Nzimande for guidance
The installation of Professor Zeblon Vilakazi as the vice-chancellor and principal of the University of the Witwatersrand was postponed after a man was shot by police in Braamfontein on Wednesday.
Mthokozisi Ntumba, 35, was hit by three rubber bullets during a student protest. He was walking on De Beer Street in Braamfontein from a clinic.
Wits students have been protesting against the exclusion of some students who have historical debt and cannot reregister because of their outstanding fees.
Vilakazi said on Thursday that the university regrets the death of Ntumba because of the bad handling of the student protest.  ....
