The family of murdered Mangosuthu University of Technology student Xolile Mbatha said losing a child so close to completing her studies was a devastating blow.

Mbatha died after being stabbed by a male student in her Ark Royal residence bathroom in Durban on Sunday morning. Police said it was a domestic dispute.On Friday, MUT held a memorial service in her honour at the university’s Bozzol hall in Umlazi before fellow students marched from the Ark Royal residence to the South Point police station to demand a speedy arrest of her killer.

“Thoko was our elder sister but you wouldn’t see that from how she treated us. She was always humble and always reminded us to study, even if she’s not in our room she would send a message. She was busy sending application letters because she was almost done with her studies,” she said. He said MUT should avoid a situation developing where its residences are perceived as “death traps” for female students.

“You are old enough now. We can't stop you from having romantic relationships but we have every right to intervene as a university when there is abuse and when we do, we will not show any mercy that the decisions we make can destroy your future. There is no future for a student who commits a crime” she said.
