Ms Litemba Mpambani.
No arrest has been made in the case of culpable homicide that occurred on 24 April 2021 outside the Main Gate of the University of the Free State (UFS) Bloemfontein Campus in Nelson Mandela Drive when Ms Litemba Mpambani was fatally killed. She was a fourth-year student in BA Fine Arts.
The case is still being investigated by the South African Police Service (SAPS). The university is again appealing to the Bloemfontein community to come forward with any relevant information that can assist in the investigation.
Anyone who has information in respect of the incident or who saw something that could possibly be linked to the incident can call Sergeant Thabo Litsoane on +27 0 79 606 7820. Alternatively, +27 0 860 010111 can be called or information can be reported on the MySAPSApp. Information can also be sent to the UFS at i

The university management has been in touch with the Mpambani family and fully supports their quest for justice in this tragic hit-and-run accident. Not only did the family lose a daughter, but the university also lost a promising and talented student who was loved among her friends, fellow students, and lecturers.
