N\u00f3g \u2019n student van die Universiteit Stellenbosch (US) is vandeesweek dood nadat hy in die Proefplaas-dam, Noord Wal-Oos, verdrink het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die 19-jarige eerstejaarstudent, van die manskoshuis Dagbreek, is Maandagoggend (21 Oktober) gevind nadat hy die vorige dag gaan swem het. Volgens die Stellenbosch-polisie is die student se lyk om 09:05 gevind nadat hy vermoedelik reeds Sondag om 17:00 verdrink het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vandeesweek se verdrinking volg nadat twee mans in Januarie vanjaar ook in die berggebied bo Coetzenburg in Stellenbosch gesterf het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Stellenbosch-polisie het Maandag bevestig \u2019n geregtelike doodsondersoek is in die jongste voorval geopen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die dam is glo \u2019n gewilde swemplek vir studente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mede-studente het hul medelye met die student se familie, vriende en die gemeenskap van Dagbreek uitgespreek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
