Solly Moeng | Stellenbosch urination incident: We need empathetic, not punitive correction

Solly Moeng reflects on the recent incident at Stellenbosch University and writes that the easy route would be to expel the white student, but that sometimes a more humanist, empathetic route is needed.

A few years ago, I was given "Reputation Management" classes to tutor to third-year students at the University of Cape Town (UCT). This was part of my PhD studies, a journey I am yet to resume and complete (life happened). In any case, I had, as I would, students in their early twenties from all South African racial backgrounds.
