KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Premier Senzo Mchunu has condemned the murder of a student at Tshwane University of Technology following a conflict involving students coming from KwaZulu-Natal Province.
“I send my condolences to the family of the student who died in the conflict. I have been in contact with the KZN Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Mamunye Ngobeni with a view of getting a report as it has been alleged that the students belong to rival groups from Phongola, Vryheid and Nongoma.”
“These students have brought shame not only to their parents but to the province and the people of KwaZulu-Natal as a whole. This is a slap in the face of parents who have sacrificed everything they have in order to ensure that these students acquire the necessary skills and knowledge.”
“The youth of today remain a highly privileged youth, to have lived so soon after the end of apartheid and seen the dawn of democracy, lived during the days of Madiba through a once in a lifetime event such as the 2010 FIFA World Cup.”
"Today's youth are privileged indeed to have also inherited the Freedom which was produced by intellectuals and thinkers of note. We therefore expect the students of today to seize opportunities offered by the new dispensation,” The Premier said.
