Family of slain DUT student go after security company and university

In their court application in April 2022, the Madonsela family said Bhengu was an employee of Xcellent who had a contract with DUT to provide security services.

The family also claimed to have suffered impaired mental health and said they need professional psychotherapy sessions. Dismissing the vicarious liability claim, the university said Bhengu was neither an employee nor agent for DUT. It argued the alleged contract with Xcellent security did not provide a legal basis for the conclusion “related to agency”, as pleaded by the plaintiffs.
