MUT students on their way to court
On 2 March 2020 motorists on Durban’s Anton Lambede and Margaret Mncadi streets in the morning had to give way to MUT students who marched from Lonsdale Residence at the bottom of Dr Pixley ka-Isaka Seme Street, to the Durban High Court to show their support for the slain Engineering student, Zolile Khumalo.
This was the first day of judgement for Thabani Mzolo, who killed Zolile on 1 May 2018. The students’ march was also an affirmation of the University’s stance against Gender-Based Violence and xenophobia, an important decision taken by the University’s Senate last year. Thabani was found guilty of murder, possession of a firearm without the licence, and being in possession of rounds of ammunition.
