Stellenbosch University has been rocked by yet another alleged racist incident which reportedly took place 48 hours before the infamous urination scandal that has left many South Africans outraged.
According to eNCA, the incident reportedly took place during a law faculty dance event last week Thursday where a racial slur was allegedly uttered at a female student during the dance.
University’s Juridicial Society has come out and expressed its disgust at both racist incidents.
In a statement released by the Society, it stated that the young woman was made to feel humiliated as another law student reportedly verbally abused her throughout the night.
“It involved the request by an Indian student that an Indian song be played. Upon this request, a white law student allegedly [made] abhorrent, racist and defamatory comments that are offensive and degrading.
“These comments were reportedly witnessed by another law student, who failed to assist in the matter and laughed in response when asked for help from the victim. Up until this date the victim has not received a satisfactory apology for harm suffered,” the statement reads.
The university is currently investigating the issue as it speaks to all students who attended the dance in order to obtain more information, as per IOL.
This is the second incident of this nature that has been reported in the last week.
Earlier this week, a white student was caught urinating on the belongings of Babalo Ndwayana. The urinating student has since been suspended and is currently facing charges regarding the incident.
