A number of students in one of South Africa’s universities are facing criminal charges after a video was found allegedly showing them forcing black campus employees to eat food that had been urinated on. The university has strongly condemned the students’ behaviour in the video.
The incident saw students and staff unite in protest on the university’s campus and student groups are planning nationwide anti-racism demonstrations in response.
South Africa is known to have a racist past from the days of apartheid and the video was reportedly recorded in protest at moves to integrate black and white students in the same residences at the University of the Free State. In recent years the institution has encountered difficulties trying to integrate people from other racial groups.
