Revelations that Capricorn TVET College student Precious Ramabulana’s killer gained access to her room through a window has once again cast the spotlight on accommodation.
Johannesburg - Revelations that Capricorn TVET College student Precious Ramabulana’s killer gained access to her room through a window with a dysfunctional lock to the room she was renting in a Limpopo village has once again cast the spotlight on accommodation for students at institutions of higher learning at rural universities.
Ramabulana, 21, who was buried in Nzhelele in the Vhembe district on Friday evening, was killed by an intruder who allegedly stabbed her 52 times in the early hours of Monday. A 28-year-old man was arrested in Nyakelang village in Botlokwa, outside Polokwane, on Wednesday morning and is expected to appear in court soon.
Wendy Matshela, SRC chairperson at the Capricorn TVET College, told Sunday Independent that accommodation for students in the village is generally poor. The campus itself doesn’t have accommodation facilities. As a result, students rent rooms from homesteads around the Botlokwa area, paying between R500 and R1 000 a month.
