Port Elizabeth – Missing student activist Vusi Mahlangu was said to be locked in meetings all of Tuesday with the Eastern Cape branch of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks).
Fellow student activist and friend Vuyo Mntonintshi confirmed this to the African News Agency (ANA) on Tuesday afternoon.
Last week Mahlangu mysteriously went missing. At the time he was last seen while on his way to a meeting with outsourced workers at the Walter Sisulu University. Mahlangu’s friends raised the alarm after the activist failed to arrive at a meeting with WSU outsourced workers.
Mahlangu is credited with negotiating for outsourced workers at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), where management started a process to do away with outsourcing and improving the workers’ wages. He went to the Eastern Cape to assist the outsourced university workers there.
The Eastern Cape Provincial Head for the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), Major-General Nyameko Nogwanya, held a media briefing in East London on Tuesday afternoon. Mahlangu was expected to arrive at the briefing with his lawyers.
