Both Featherbrooke Village and Monash South Africa have not been able to comment on an incident where the centre was allegedly stoned and vandalised by Monash students on Friday, 8 November.
The Record previously reported that upon staff arrival at the Featherbrooke Village on Saturday morning 9 November they found that window panes at the PNA store were broken and the property vandalised.
The centre was damaged after an alleged altercation between Monash students and a bouncer at the Stones bar in Featherbrooke Village, which leads the centre to believe that the damage was caused by the students.
PNA staff members refused to talk to the media and referred the Record to the company that manages the property, Broll.
Later Maya Stephens, property manager at Broll, was contacted for comment and declined to comment, stating that their investigation is not complete.
“We are still awaiting a report from the security company that works with Featherbrooke Village, thereafter a press release will be sent out.”
Another Broll agent promised a press release will be sent out by Wednesday morning, 13 November.
One of Monash South Africa’s marketing and communication officers, Nomasiko Sibanda, also declined to comment. Stating that she was not aware of the issues raised, she referred the Record to André Lubbe, the executive director of advancement and corporate affairs.
Also stating that he is not able to comment on behalf of the campus, he pointed out Professor Ron Weber, Pro-Vice Chancellor, as “the official campus spokesperson”.
The Record addressed an email to Professor Ron Weber regarding various concerning incidents that either involved students or happened on campus and is still awaiting an official response.
