South Africa is the home of Nelson Mandela. Mandela went to prison for a long time because he opposed and spoke out against the government.
The countries majority is Black but was rule by the minority group of whites.
There have been many strides in South Africa but some are determined on overshadowing the progress by perpetrating outrages acts.
At south Africa's University of Free state a few white students are facing criminal charges after video surfaced showing the abuse of several Black University employees.
The video was made to protest the integration of residence halls and shows the white students telling five black elderly workers to drink full bottles of beer. Then they were led to a field to and told to show their athletic skills.
However, the most disturbing part of the film is when a white male urinates on the food and force the workers to eat the urinated on food which caused them to vomit.
The whites involved are former and current students of the University. The administration at the school is very upset about the incident.
The students will be suspended and the victims will receive counseling according to the school.
Hundreds of Black Students and workers at the University gave the school a list of demands.
Many believe that South Africa has not really come as far as they thought but instead this incident illustrates that racism is still dominant in South African society.
