Stellenbosch University closes down Wilgenhof male residence

The Wilgenhof male residence will be shut down by the end of the year after allegations of initiation incidents at two rooms that were discovered by the Stellenbosch university at the establishment. After an audit of the establishment, the university described the items as disturbing.

The university provided more clarity on the situation recently that council will recommend that the Wilgenhof residence be closed. The university added that it assures parents, students and staff that it will continue its commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive university.

“Alternative uses of the space will be discussed with a view to be effected during 2025. The Rectorate will revert in due course on the other recommendations in the report, amongst them the recommendations that could be embedded in the Committee for the Institutional Response to the Commission’s Recommendations (CIRCoRe) process,” said SU Rector Professor Wim de Villiers.
