A STUDENT who was held hostage at the women’s hostel at the University of Venda on Monday now has to face a disciplinary hearing, despite her ordeal, for allowing a man into her room without permission. The student, who is doing her postgraduate degree, may also face charges of harbouring a wanted criminal. She was released from custody on Friday after three days of interrogation. Police shot dead the man, Thabo Maisela, during the hostage drama. He was allegedly wanted in connection with several cash-heists in the province, the most recent being the theft of R800000 in pension money from Cash Paymaster Services.
