Acting Chair, I want to move without notice:
That the Council -
1) notes with concern the shocking, inhumane and racist video depicting four white male students of the University of the Free State humiliating African employees, which entailed bizarre acts of enforced drinking, participating in a race and being asked to kneel and eat food which had been urinated upon;
2) further notes that this racist act at the Free State University at its Reitz hostel, reminds us of other such acts, namely -
a) Skierlik in the North West, where 18-year-old Johan Nel shot and killed four black people;
b) of white high school students in Newcastle, who welcomed their newly appointed principal with booing and chanting of Bok van Blerk's De la Rey anthem;
c) of many more often unreported sufferings which our people still endure at the hands of some white racists; 3) condemns in no uncertain terms these barbaric and inhuman acts;
4) calls upon those white citizens who still harbour and propagate racism tendencies to stop forthwith as these tendencies are not part of their biological make-up, and reminds them that there are no people in the world whose patience is endless;
5) also calls on the university to speed up transformation and take firm disciplinary steps that would show total rejection of racism in all its forms;
6) further calls on the Department of Education and the Human Rights Commission to urgently investigate the activities of the Here XVII, FF+ and Solidarity on the campus and to allow the full might of the law to take its course.
