THE National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has confirmed it will prosecute former Stellenbosch University Theuns Du Toit for allegedly urinating on the desk, laptop and books of Babalo Ndwayana.
Du Toit was expelled from the university after he was filmed urinating on Ndwayana’s belongings in May.
The university found that Du Toit has also been found guilty of contravening the university’s disciplinary code for students, saying, “…no student shall, without good and lawful reason, willfully engage in any conduct which adversely affects the University, any member of the University community, or any person who is present on the University campus at the invitation of the University.”
NPA spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said: “I can confirm that the NPA has decided that he must be prosecuted on malicious damage to property and crimen injuria but gave instructions that investigation must be finalised before the matter is placed on the roll.”
In May 2022, du Toit was filmed urinating on the desk, laptop and books of Ndwayana.
After the incident took place, Ndwayana laid a criminal complaint against du Toit.
The charges included housebreaking, crimen injuria, and malicious damage to property.
Crimen injuria is a wilful injury to someone’s dignity, caused by the use of obscene or racially offensive language or gestures.
