At the same time, an online reporting tool has been created by the university “that makes the reporting of sexual and gender-based violence user-friendly and accessible”.
This comes in the wake of news that first-year student Uyinene Mrwetyana was raped and murdered after she had gone missing on August 24. In speaking about the new platforms, Phakeng said: “We live in a country where crime is a reality, and it does affect all of us, but the safety of students and staff remains the university’s highest priority.
The university plans to provide staff and students with a sexual and gender-based violence toolkit, as well as a personal alarm device.
