Students protest against bail granted to residence manager accused of murder

|June 06, 2025
THREE students from Walter Sisulu University (WSU) were arrested on Wednesday after a protest over the court-ordered release of a residence manager accused of murder.
The protest turned violent at the institution’s Mthatha main campus after news emerged that residence manager, Manelisi Mampane, was granted R10000 bail by the Mthatha Magistrate’s Court.
Mampane is accused of shooting dead student Sisonke Mbolekwa during a protest in April this year.
Videos circulating on social media showed some students throwing stones at police officers who responded to the scene.
Eastern Cape police spokesperson, Nobuntu Gantana, confirmed the arrests and acknowledged the frustration from the university community following the court's decision.
"We recognise the profound distress this case has caused within the university community," Gantana said.
