Suicide, kidnapping, and theft are some of the struggles that UJ students are battling with.
Students at the University of Johannesburg are grappling with serious challenges including suicide, kidnapping, and theft.
However, he said while UJ recognised the “significant mental health challenges many students face”, it could not reveal the number of suicides at the school citing confidentiality and sensitivity. UJ increased its registration fee from R3 870 in 2023 to R5 560, and from R6 470 to R9 270 for residence students.
The institution said it maintained strong working relationships with local law enforcement and community projects like Jozi My Jozi to address off-campus safety concerns.
