The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) is in mourning. This follows the tragic death of a student at one of our off-campus private residences in Pretoria on Saturday, 16 March 2024.
The University is waiting for an official report from the South African Police Services (SAPS) regarding the circumstances that led to the student’s untimely death.
We are providing the family, friends and fellow students of the deceased with as much support as we can at this difficult time.
The family should be afforded the space and time to inform one another, to process their great loss, and to honour the memory of the deceased with dignity. The University calls upon the public, including the media, to exercise restraint and empathy towards the family at this time of grief.
Our deepest condolences go to the student’s family, friends and fellow students.
The University will continue to act in solidarity with the family.
