MUT calls for swift justice of murdered lecturer
The Mangosuthu University of Technology says it's confident the courts will deliver swift justice in the murder case of lecturer Chanlall Dwarika.
Four of the five men, arrested in connection with his kidnapping and murder, have abandoned their bid for bail.
The group lined up in the Durban Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
One of the accused, Sandile Mkhize who still needs to apply for bail is being kept in holding cells at the Greenwood Park Police Station.

Dwarika's body was found in Inanda earlier this month after he'd been missing for a week.
The 61-year-old husband and father were kidnapped in Sea Cow Lake, assaulted and robbed of his car, phone, bank cards and money.
"The Mangosuthu University of Technology has noted the magistrate's decision to remand in custody the accused suspects in the killing of Mr Shan Dwarika, the late lecturer in the Department of Electrical Engineering, who was found brutally murdered after being kidnapped for a week," says spokesperson Bheki Hlophe.
"The accused suspects will be remanded in custody from 13 June 2023, at least until 20 June 2023. The university community has welcomed this decision."
