Stellenbosch students living in the Dagbreek residence have apologised for past transgressions against people of colour in the town.

This follows information that their predecessors from the residence had attacked black and coloured people in their homes in 1939.

After the attacks, they had refused to hand in their weapons to authorities.

Current Dagbreek leader Pieter Nel told a media organisation they wanted to apologise for the disobedience and lovelessness that lead to the actions.
