Two students put up a racist page on Facebook, with a staged photo of an armed white man standing over the body of a black boy. <\/p>\n
Management at the University of the North West says it’s appalled by an offensive and racist Facebook group being run by two of its students, Radio 702 reports. <\/p>\n
The group called "Ek laaik nie ’n houtkop nie, so what" contains inflammatory comments posted by members and an alarming photograph of a young white man holding a gun while posing over the trophy of a young black boy. <\/p>\n
The group currently has 48 members, all white and mostly Afrikaans. <\/p>\n
Under the description label, the administrators of the group use the k word saying it’s been set up for all those who think black people are destroying the country and must ’gaan kak’. <\/p>\n
While the messages posted by members agree that all black people should die, it is a photograph on the page that is most alarming. <\/p>\n
North West University’s Potchefstroom Rector Annette Combrink says she’s deeply shocked by the posting.<\/p>\n
She says management will take the matter up with the students immediately. <\/p>\n
