# Government has strongly condemned violent protests at Walter Sisulu University’s Mthatha campus in the Eastern Cape, after the release on bail of acting residence manager Manelisi Mampana, charged in a student’s fatal shooting. Protesters barricaded the N2 highway with burning tyres, disrupting services and endangering lives. While government supports the right to protest, it urges students to engage peacefully. Authorities call on student leaders and management to restore calm and uphold the rule of law.
