"We urge DHET to speedily ensure the implementation of our recommendations in this area." Meanwhile, the Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) said they would reach out to TUT following the killing and called for Thusi's bail to be denied.

In the meantime, the state is to confirm the address and profile of Thusi ahead of the expected bail proceedings. The minister urged institutions working alongside higher health, to continue working collectively in implementing programmes towards addressing the challenges of sexual and gender-based violence within the system, especially by ensuring the provision of safe workplaces, learning spaces and residences for all staff and students. "As part of dealing with gender-based violence in our institutions, I will be launching the Transforming MENtalities Initiative, which will be a multi-stakeholder partnership within the post-schooling education and training sector, with a particular focus on mobilising men in our sector to be part of championing a world free of gender biases, stereotypes, violence and discrimination," Nzimande said.
