Ndlovu was attacked inside a lecture hall at the Steve Biko campus last month and robbed of his cellphone and laptop.
He died in hospital a few days later.
The suspect appeared in the Durban Magistrate's Court on Wednesday where the matter was remanded for a bail application.
Following his arrest police told Newswatch that a cellphone belonging to Ndlovu was seized along with a knife believed to be the murder weapon.
