Not only a opinion piece, but a departmental opinion piece.

When I was in the SADF my initiation and other conscripts out of basic training landing on the border of South West Africa and Angola, we had to rub our genitals with toothpaste or vicks vapor rub.
This was forced upon us. not just by white afrikaaners (which I despise) , we had a lot of the coloured cape corps in the camp that was involved.
It was never seen as a racist thing.
Damn we had p!ssing contests between each other too.

In every damned thread, you participate in it seems, you have to post a rant about Afrikaans people and the SADF in the 80s, and basic training and because of all that "Afrikaners BAD" including the current born-free ones, etc. Whether it's related or not.

Tone it down a bit, damn. We get it, you hate Afrikaners.

The Blacks today just seek revenge just because they can, thinking they will benefit from any upheaval they can find.
it will be their downfall and constant poverty thinking they will succeed in a black only society based on socialism.
I wish I could be around in the next 50 years to see the mess they created upon themselves.

So not only do you have a problem with Afrikaans people but Black people too? You're a piece of work...

Racism is bad. Peeing on people's belongings is also bad.

Opinions are starting to roll,

‘I faced Stellenbosch University’s racial gaslighting head -on’

A headline with the words ‘Stellenbosch University’ drew my attention, and as a former employee at said institution, naturally, my curiosity was piqued.

‘I faced Stellenbosch University’s racial gaslighting head -on’​

Cape Town - It was May 16, the end of the day, and I was about to turn in for the night.

A notification popped up on my mobile device, lighting up a dimly lit room. A headline with the words ‘Stellenbosch University’ drew my attention, and as a former employee at said institution, naturally, my curiosity was piqued.

An article by a news outlet left me feeling irate and frustrated; another race related incident at Marais Huis and Stellenbosch University.

I learnt of the horrible ordeal that a young man had been put through. A student by the name of Babalo Ndwayana, a name on everyone’s lips right now, a young man who had his dignity stepped on by a fellow white student in the now notorious and widely publicised ‘Stellenbosch University urinating scandal’.

A question arose in my head; just what the hell is the matter with Stellenbosch?

...

Then there are those who are neck-high in denialism, who are defensive, who ‘whitesplain” and adopt an almost avoidant attitude about past events and/or any other race-related issue that may, potentially crop up for previously disadvantaged individuals.

The latter of the two classes often seeks justification and attempts to make acceptable and palatable what is obviously not.

They view the world around them from under a restrictive lens and have no plans to adjust it.
There is the possibility of underlying shame, ignorance or apathy; this behaviour is synonymous with what is known as ‘White Fragility’.

The term white fragility can be defined as “the tendency among members of the dominant white cultural group to have a defensive, wounded, angry, or dismissive response to evidence of racism”.

In my experience, there is a deep rooted shame (an often cagey approach) in some when referring to matters of the past and its effects today.

Boomers and some millennials suffer cognitive dissonance when race- related matters are brought to their attention, matters involving the institution or even the town.

It is very disturbing, however, when we learn that the offender is a post- apartheid aka "Gen Z" product, and obviously, has no first-hand knowledge of the above, only what has been dictated and taught to him by his guardians and his community.

Another urinating saga rocks Maties

University spokesperson Martin Viljoen says the institution will review the alleged incident in 2018 and respond to it.

Another urinating saga rocks Maties​

Cape Town - Another black Stellenbosch University (SU) student has opened up about being humiliated by a white student, who allegedly urinated in his room and was only suspended with no further action.

While the incident allegedly took place in 2018, the student told the Cape Times that the recent viral video showing Theuns du Doit urinating on the study material of fellow student Babalo Ndwayana at Huis Marais residence, opened old wounds.

...

In the wake of that attack, the fourth year student in the 2018 incident said he was forced to move residences because of a similar event.

“This was in my first year in Eendrag Men’s Residence, we were having a social event. We were sitting in my room with three friends having drinks. A white Afrikaans guy just came into my room while we were sitting there and started peeing on my door. We confronted him because out of all the rooms he chose mine. We felt disrespected by him because he passed the toilet and came straight to my room.

“He fought with one of my friends and made some racist remarks. I reported him to one of the residence committees.

“He was suspended for a few days and eventually came back, the committee said that they were investigating the incident but nothing happened after that. The guy continued staying in residence.”

He said this happened when they were preparing for exams and he decided not to return to the residence the following year.

“I felt that the committee did not care about what had happened to me,” he said.

A former student who was staying at the same residence said he did not remember any kind of accountability or reprimand of the white student by the university.

“I’m pretty sure I remember our house father shouted at him, but that’s as much as I can remember. It was a hush-hush thing. All I can say is that I can confirm that it did happen and circumstances surrounding it were very questionable and were very similar to this recent incident.

“At the time I didn’t know that this peeing situation could be racially motivated. It was a white Afrikaans boy peeing in the room of a black student. But it was not addressed and the conversation on whether it could be racially motivated certainly did not come about the way it is now,” he said.

Stellenbosch University spokesperson Martin Viljoen said they would review records regarding the alleged 2018 incident and respond in due course.

At this point in time, this ‘another’ but old, urination incident is nothing but hearsay. I can only hope that the university will review its records and be open about the alleged incident. Truth is what reconciles, lies only entrench the divide.

Does anyone know where SASCO's (incl. the ANC Youth League's) memorandum is published? I want to know the 17 demands.

I honestly do not, under any circumstances have any problem with the colour of my skin nor my heritage or culture. What I do have a problem with is politics and the media since we all want equality.

I know my forefathers had a hand in apartheid, I wont deny it but punishing my bloodline for it is wrong. What is happening now is a disgrace on so many levels, towards all of us in the republic its disgusting. The ruling party is causing such a big divide now that I doubt it will ever be fixed which is unfortunate.

I want to hang out with my neighbours no matter if they are black, white, asian or coloured. I want black, white, asian and coloured kids to feel welcomed and safe in any and all areas of South Africa, I want adults of all colours to feel welcome in any situation and every area of SA but lets be honest, this is not happening, not by a long shot and we all know who is to blame for this.

So to get to your answer, no, I would rather not be born a South African if I had the choice, whether Im black, white, asian or coloured. Its am extremely toxic environment which need rehabilitation although I believe we are beyond that point.

I dont think theres any evidence to support the rape as a racist incident
