Students at the University of Johannesburg are grappling with serious challenges including suicide, kidnapping, and theft.

UJ increased its registration fee from R3 870 in 2023 to R5 560, and from R6 470 to R9 270 for residence students.

The institution said it maintained strong working relationships with local law enforcement and community projects like Jozi My Jozi to address off-campus safety concerns.
