Cape Town - Anti-gender-based violence activists at Stellenbosch University have expressed alarm over “terrible acts” of hate speech and the spreading of vulgar, dehumanising content disguised as “memes” by students.
“As the Anti-GBV Movement of SU, we strive for an inclusive, empowering, safe community and we strongly condemn all forms of hate speech and dehumanisation. If the matter is not dealt with accordingly, we will intervene and ensure accountability is reached,” the movement said. “When looking at the memes that have been sent on the chat group, you see the molestation of children being shown as a laughable thing that tends to happen all the time and as a normalised culture,” she said.
