Stellenbosch medical student accused of assaulting female student granted bail

A final year medical student appeared in the Bellville Magistrate’s Court on Friday following allegations that he assaulted a fellow student on campus.

“… I realised that it’s beyond ‘you hit me, I hit you back’ because you know I am not capable of doing as much harm as you can do to me… and even though we were both pinned to the ground at some point, he still didn’t let go.”The assault allegedly occurred at the Ubuntu House residence on the Tygerberg campus in the early hours of Saturday.

The university’s disciplinary committee was in the process of holding a confirmation of suspension hearing.“The male student is no longer in his residence or on campus. Further steps will follow, based on the outcome of the disciplinary investigation.”
