Yesterday evening till this morning in South Africa, tweets surfaced online of a pregnant student being injured by bouncers during the removal of students by the University of Pretoria’s security personnel, while their superiors watch.
This was made known by twitter user: @RietzieRoozel who said: "#UPResCrisis pregnant student beaten up by private security while their superiors watch."
The #UPResCrisis hashtag filled the twitter sphere on Monday evening and on Tuesday morning about black students allegedly being kicked out in the middle of the night by the security personnel.
Numerous tweets chastised the university for allegedly giving preference to white students who were financially better off and leaving students from disadvantaged backgrounds to contend with expensive private accommodation.
