The North-West University (NWU) has noted a video that has been shared on some social media platforms regarding some of our students’ urination incident. The incident is alleged to have occurred on Saturday, 20 May 2023, at our Potchefstroom Campus. We condemn this alleged incident harshly. Our Protection Services Department is investigating the incident and will report its findings to the University Management very soon. The perpetrators will be dealt with decisively.  

The NWU promotes diversity, inclusiveness, and respect for the rights of all its stakeholders including students and staff. We are pleased that some of our students have reported this incident, and we encourage others to report any perceived acts of intimidation, discrimination, or any violation of human rights.
