24th May 202217th May 2022

[Of course, the Liberals were freaking out over this. Things went totally beserk. They had meetings and gatherings and they wanted the White kid thrown out of university. The Black student apparently needed COUNSELING! Stellenbosch University then suspended the White student. These non-Whites have been spiteful to all of us, and now that a White guy does something, now it’s in the newspapers, on TV, and it’s a national incident. You’d think a bomb had gone off. You can see how crazy it is because 60,000 people signed a petition calling for the expulsion of the White student. They also want to take the White kid to court. This is a pathetic worthless country these days I tell you. The Blacks say that “Higher Education” has not been decolonised yet!! That’s how crazy this stuff is. Jan]

Calls for expulsion of Stellies student growing after video went viral

“It’s a white thing, boy.” This is what Theuns du Toit, a white student at the University of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape, allegedly told fellow student Babalo Ndwayana, who recorded him on video urinating on his study desk with books and laptop on it.

The video has sparked a racial storm, with Du Toit being suspended and calls growing for his expulsion.

Ndwayana made the recording on Sunday morning in his room at the Huis Marais residence on campus, which Ndwayana shares with Du Toit’s friend. The incident happened at about 4am.

The video, which has led to the suspension of the alleged urinator, has gone viral on social media with many users calling for his expulsion.

Babalo Ndwayana lays three charges against urinating Stellenbosch student The Stellenbosch University student whose laptop and other belongings were urinated on by a fellow student laid charges of breaking and entering, malicious damage to property and racism on May 17. Babalo Ndwayana told journalists he is traumatised by the incident and wants to go home. Over 60 000 people have signed a petition calling for the white student’s expulsion.

“After he started urinating my initial thought was to fight him, but a neighbour who heard what was happening came and told me to rather film him because I will get in trouble and the whole thing will turn into me assaulting him,” he said.

The university announced on Monday that it had suspended Du Toit.

Ndwayana, who is getting counselling from the university, said his laptop is not working properly after the incident. “My laptop is not working. I got this laptop this year for school. It switches on but it isn’t charging properly. All my notes were also urinated on.”

He said the alleged perpetrator apologised but he does not believe it was sincere.

His father Mkuseli Kaduka said his son was excited about studying at university before being humiliated, and the family is now concerned for his safety.

“He has only been away from his family for a few months and for this to happen is really heartbreaking. He was enjoying himself. This incident came as a surprise to us because nothing had happened before, he was happy,” said Kaduka.

“My initial feeling was anger and then I felt powerless because he is in Stellenbosch and I am in East London. My son has only been away from us and the protection of his parents for a few months, so for this to happen now is really heartbreaking.

“He is overwhelmed and has become withdrawn. He is not the most bubbly person but I am worried about him and that he won’t be able to cope with his studies.”

The family wants to open a case of damage to property and intimidation against the alleged perpetrator.

This is not the first time the university has been under fire for alleged racism. In February, one of Sowetan’s sister publications reported on a residence head who used the k-word. The university explained that he used the word to explain how it is not an acceptable word to be used.

In 2014, two University of Pretoria students faced a disciplinary hearing after photos of them dressed up as domestic workers went viral. The two women had painted their faces brown and stuffed their skirts with pillows to make their buttocks look larger.

The South African Students Congress (Sasco) and EFF Student Command condemned the incident. “Anything short of expulsion and potentially criminal charges would be regarded or seen as an injustice. This racist criminal act deserves the highest punishment if we are to have confidence that the university truly respects and protects the right of students, particularly the black marginalised students. We demand that the university and all relevant authorities ensure that justice prevails,” read the statement.

EFF Student Command spokesperson Xola Mehlomakulu said they will continue to fight for decolonisation of higher education.

“We will no longer tiptoe around an institution that prides itself as the capital of racism in higher learning. For decades, Stellenbosch University has been victimising black students, all because of the colour of their skin,” said Mehlomakulu.

Stellenbosch University spokesperson Martin Viljoen said an investigation was under way. “The university strongly condemns the destructive, hurtful and racist incident that was captured on a cellphone…The alleged perpetrator was suspended from the university on Monday [Monday].

“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,” he said.
