A member of the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) Student Representative Council (SRC), Musawenkosi Mavuso, has been accused of rape by a 20-year-old student, sparking widespread outrage and protests on campus.

Mavuso, a third-year Bachelor of Education student and member of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) student organization, was accused of sexually assaulting the woman on Friday at around 8:30 PM. The alleged victim reported the incident to Campus Control, who have confirmed reviewing CCTV footage related to the report.

The victim also expressed severe emotional distress, stating she has been left feeling suicidal and unable to prepare for her exams.
