The University of Fort Hare says it is saddened by the passing of a second-year BCom student who was found dead in his hostel room on Monday morning.
University spokesperson, Tandi Mapukata, identified the student as Kabelo Sogobile.
She says the cause of his death has yet to be confirmed.
Mapukata says this is the second death at Fort Hare's Alice campus, after another student, Bokang Makhoali, died of pneumonia last Tuesday.
She says these two deaths were heart-breaking for the university after several students died on the Alice campus not too long ago.
