Warrant officer Matthews Nkoadi, police spokesperson, said an argument between the two students flared up and they stabbed each other with knives.
“One student died at the scene and another was rushed to the George Mukhari hospital in Soshanguve,” Nkoadi said.
It is believed the fight broke out at the Alex Residence on campus.
