The University of Cape Town (UCT) said on Wednesday it is providing support to a “survivor” who was allegedly sexually assaulted by a fellow student leader.

The UCT student representative council, in a tweet naming the perpetrator, welcomed the “protest action”.

“Furthermore, it is unconscionable that a group threatens to take matters into their own hands and wish to act as judge and jury. There are legal processes to follow. This threat of vigilante behaviour is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated.”Esa Alexander Phakeng said in her letter that the university’s office for inclusivity and change is supporting one of the sexual assault survivors.
