University of Fort Hare vice-chancellor, Professor Sakhela Buhlungu, was moved to a"safe" location after one of his bodyguards was shot dead on Friday night. "The University of Fort Hare confirms a fatal shooting incident outside the official Alice residence of the vice-chancellor during the early evening hours of Friday," Roodt said.
"Shots were overheard several kilometres away by other executive staff members residing in the Alice staff village... The vice-chancellor is unharmed, survived the assassination attempt and is at a safe location."The university added that it was aware that images and videos of the bullet-riddled vehicle were circulating on social media.Out of respect for Mr Vesele and his family, and to preserve his dignity, we ask that the UFH community refrains from disseminating these visuals.

Thousands of Animals Disappearing as Global Food Webs CollapseClimate change is one of the main drivers of species loss globally. Research published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science titled 'Coextinctions dominate future vertebrate losses from climate and land use change' shows that 10% of land animals could disappear from particular geographic areas by 2050, and almost 30% by 2100. This is more than double previous predictions. This means children born today who live to their 70s will witness thousands of animals disappear in their lifetime, from lizards and frogs to mammals such as elephants and koalas. But if we manage to dramatically reduce carbon emissions globally, we could save thousands of species from local extinction this century alone write Corey J. A. Bradshaw, professor of global ecology and models theme leader for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage, Flinders University and Giovanni Strona, Doctoral program supervisor, University of Helsinki
