The man accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend at the Mangosuthu University of Technology is expected to appear in court on Monday.
Earlier this year, Thabani Mzolo confessed on Facebook to killing 21-year-old Zolile Khumalo.
It is understood this happened shortly after Khumalo ended the relationship.
Mzolo visited Khumalo’s university residence, where he allegedly shot and killed her in front of her friend.
The man confessed to committing the murder in a Facebook post.
The university&39;s Vice-Chancellor, Lindiwe Sulu, condemned the incident.
Students are expected picket outside the court.
Meanwhile, International Relations and Cooperation minister Lindiwe Sisulu extended her condolences to the Khumalo family and the entire university community.
“I feel deep sympathy for her parents, family and friends, it is painful and very sad. We must do more to protect women from being murdered by partners or former partners,” said Sisulu.
“We trust that the judicial system will take necessary steps and send a clear message to perpetrators that South Africans are tired of such senseless killings will not tolerate them.”
