EASTERN CAPE - Walter Sisulu University residence manager, Manelisi Mampane, will be applying for bail at the Mthatha Magistrate's Court today.

The 54-year-old made his first court appearance on Tuesday afternoon.
His case was postponed to today to allow adequate time for a formal bail application.
He is being charged with murder for allegedly shooting and killing Mbolekwa during a protest last week over poor living conditions at university residences.
Three other students were injured during the scuffle and taken to hospital.
