 * Varsity workers fed meat with urine


 * Sapa, Sowetan, 27 February 2008**

A video of University of the Free State (UFS) employees on their knees eating meat which had been urinated on was condemned “in the strongest possible terms” by the university yesterday.

The video, made by the Reitz men’s residence, surfaced yesterday morning and follows riots by the students at the campus last week over the university’s hostel integration policy.

“The Executive Management (EM) of the UFS condemns this video in the strongest possible terms as a gross violation of the human dignity of the workers involved,” the university said.

Democratic Alliance spokeswoman in the province Liana van Wyk, who had seen the video, described it as “shocking and inhumane”.

The video depicts four white male students taking four black, elderly, female workers and making them down a bottle of beer, run a race, play rugby and then kneel and eat meat which had been urinated on, she said.

“It looked like they were willing [participants] but they didn’t know the purpose the video served... it was quite humiliating at the end to see the quite senior ladies on their knees eating the meat.”

The men’s residence had chosen integration as the topic of the video they were requested to make. – Sapa
