Bloemfontein – The trial of two Free State University students accused of assault is due to begin in the Bloemfontein Regional Court on Monday.

Cobus Muller and Charl Blom allegedly tried to run over fellow-student Muzi Gwebu with their bakkie on the university’s Bloemfontein campus in February.

When Gwebu confronted them a short while later, he was allegedly assaulted.

The university said it regarded the matter in a serious light and was conducting its own investigation.

The university said the students, if found guilty in the criminal and institutional investigations, would be expelled.
