Nelson Mandela University is mourning the tragic loss of a student, following an altercation between him and the manager of an off-campus private residence.
In a social media post, NMU said the student had previously stayed in the private residence in Central.
NMU said it was shocked and condemned "this senseless act in the strongest terms".
According to the University, the residence manager has been charged with culpable homicide, with NMU adding that it was assisting the Humewood police with the investigation.
NMU said it will also conduct its own investigation, in line with its service level agreement with private, off-campus residences.
Police said the 24-year-old was allegedly hit with a car after apparently pointing, what turned out to be a toy gun, at the manager.
