The University of Cape Town
UCT's Pat
Lucas said they will closely monitor the orientation of the first years. He
further said initiation is not allowed at all.
The
initiation is a practice done on first year students by the senior students at universities.
Most
universities will reopen in February when thousands of first year students will
start their tertiary education.
The
statement made by the UCT comes after an incident where a student drowned in
the swimming pool at the Potchefstroom campus of the University of the North West
The details
of the student’s death are not known yet but police suspect he died during an
initiation process.
