Black Launch Racist Hate Attack On White Students
You'll never read about this incident in the English press - in fact its a miracle it even made it into the Afrikaans media ! Die Volksblad newspaper, a small regional paper which serves Bloemfontein yesterday reported this shocking incident which I translated from the original Afrikaans. Nobody's been arrested and as is the case with all black on White hate crimes and racist attacks, the incident is quickly being covered up as if it never happened. Six White female students belonging to the University of the Free State in Bloem were attacked by a mob of blacks who hurled bricks, threatened them with rape and racially abused the shocked women.
In a racist incident which is strongly reminiscent of the racial attacks and riots at the University of The Orange Freestate following last year's violent incidents involving the Reitz video debacle, six women were gratuitously attacked by blacks. Fortunately nobody was hurt. The women students [who requested anonymity] went for a walk on the campus on Thursday night. They were en route to their dorms from the campus swimming pool complex when the incident happened. A large group of students from various dormitories were revelling near the pool area. The six girls decided to leave the pool area after most other students had left.
"We felt safe because the campus was busy and there were students everywhere" said one. Various dorms had had parties on Thursday night and many students were standing around in front of their dorms chatting and socialising. When the women walked past the faculty for Agriculture, they saw a group of black students sitting on the grass behind the building. "We didn't worry about them as we thought they were busy playing soccer" the girls said.
As the White girls walked past the group of blacks, one suddenly picked up a brick and threw it in their direction. "At first I thought they were joking, because he didn`t throw it too hard but then he picked it up and threw it at us again, this time really hard". After this, the rest of the blacks joined in, picking up bricks and hurling it at the shocked girls who started running away. The blacks ran after the girls, screaming "f*ck off from our campus you white bitches. We are going to rape you".
The terrified girls ran away and and were chased by the blacks for quite a distance. The women approached two security guards and told them about the incident but the guards completely ignored them. They then went to their dorms and reported it to the security guard there, who shrugged his shoulders and refused to help. The students asked that the name of their dormitory be withheld for fear of victimisation. "We`re not sure if the incident was related to a protest meeting held at the campus earlier on Thursday, or whether the blacks merely wanted to vent their frustrations on us" they said. "We just think that its a serious problem that the security guards refused to help us. A few other White girls walked back alone from the pool area, what if it happened to one of them ?"
They reported the incident to the UV Security Services on Friday. Mrs Lacea Loader, UOFS spokesperson confirmed that they were aware of the incident. "The matter was reported to our security services and is being investigated. We strongly condemn behaviour like this and students must refrain from making themselves guilty of such unacceptable behaviour". Loader said she didn't want to speculate on whether the incident was related to the current Reitz debacle.
