Pretoria - The two police officers accused of shooting and killing a student at the Tshwane University Technology, have been granted R2000 bail each.

The officers, a constable and a commander, appeared in the Soshanguve Magistrate's Court on Tuesday morning, for their bail application. 

Both wore hoodies and covered their faces and sat in the dock looking down.

Magistrate Hanlie Nuus listened to the State and defence cases before granting bail. 

The men will appear in court again next year on January 25. 

Chaos broke out at court as TUT students wanted to be part of the bail application.

Students were unhappy with the decision and said they will be writing to the station commander. 

The constable and commander were arrested for Katlego Monareng death, a member of PAC student organisation Pasma.

The third-year LLB student from Limpopo was shot dead during the Student Representative Council (SRC) elections at the Soshanguve campus in August.  

In a report submitted to Ipid, officers claimed that they aimed their R5 rifles at the ground and that no one had been injured by the time they left the scene.
