In the statement, the union is calling – among others – that within 24 hours of the alleged incident, the university must apprehend and remove the alleged perpetrator on campus
Last week, alleged rapes were reported at Stellenbosch University and the University of Cape in the Western Cape. In a statement on Monday, the union said in March a rape allegation was reported at the University of Free State..
City Press reported last week that apart from the two investigations into recent alleged racist incidents at Stellenbosch University, the institution was also probing a case of a student who was allegedly raped by another student on campus.The alleged rape happened at a men’s residence. The student was arrested and later granted R1 000 bail. He is due back in court next month.
Further exacerbating this conundrum is that often the cases are postponed almost indefinitely by the courts, further delaying the course of justice.
