Stellenbosch University suspends student caught on video urinating on peer’s belongings

South Africa – Over the weekend, there was an alleged racist incident at Stellenbosch University. A white student broke into a black student’s room at Huis Marais’ residence and urinated on his possessions, according to the SA Students Congress (Sasco).

On Monday, a white student at Stellenbosch University’s Huis Marais house was punished for urinating on the property of a black student.

“The university strongly condemns the destructive, hurtful and racist incident that was captured on a cellphone video in the Huis Marais residence on the Stellenbosch University campus in the early hours of Sunday morning,” spokesperson Martin Viljoen confirmed.

“[Following his suspension] a further swift but detailed investigation will determine the final outcomes.

Expulsion and/or criminal charges are not excluded from the possible available options, based on the investigation’s findings.”
