Information reads: “Stellenbosch University student Babalo Ndwayana just laid three charges against the urinating student who was captured on camera allegedly urinating in his room. The charges are breaking and entering, malicious damage to property and racism. He says he is exhausted.”
The 20-year-old first-year student in agricultural business management told Newzroom Afrika he had limited interaction with the white student, Theuns du Toit, who entered his room at the Huis Marais residence and urinated on his books, laptop and desk in the early hours of Sunday morning.
“I didn’t really interact with him. I only knew him because he is my roommate’s friend. When he used to visit my roommate, he would make small talk with me,” he said in the interview.
Stellenbosch University student affairs director Dr Choice Makhetha told Newzroom Afrika the university was shocked by the incident, especially as the institution was focused on transformation.
She added it was clear that Ndwayana was shocked by what occurred and now had to deal with his laptop being damaged a week before examinations start. The university was assisting him with a replacement laptop and assisting him with any of his study needs.
His father, Mkuseli Kaduka, told Sowetan 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“He is overwhelmed and has become withdrawn.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 perpetrator.
When Babalo Ndwayana, 19, was woken up by a strange noise outside his room at a campus residence at Stellenbosch University in the early hours of Sunday, he thought he was dreaming.
But amid the nightmare and losing his meticulous notes a week shy of his examinations after a fellow first-year student and Huis Marais resident urinated on his belongings, including a laptop on loan from the university, Ndwayana maintained he was not vengeful.
