The university has acknowledged that communication might have been slow. However, it says it does not tolerate gender-based violence.
UFS Student Affairs Executive Director, Temba Hlasho says, “The university management takes gender-based violence seriously, and every incident of gender-based violence we take it seriously. Just last month on the Qwaqwa campus, there was a similar incident, a student was dismissed who is an SRC member. So we take these matters very seriously.”The South African Union of Students has described an alleged rape incident at the University of the Free State campus as regrettable and shameful.
“We are very much afraid of the university processes in a sense that protection services have not done much about this…has not finalised internal processes to ensure that the case is taken for a disciplinary hearing.”
Sexual assault is a serious issue. But let there be fairness. Due process should be followed in all cases
