Sheesh, Stellies – what’s going on?

First, in a video seen around the country, an 18-year-old Stellenbosch man was caught masturbating in a Virgin Active gym.

He was ultimately banned for life from the chain of gyms, although he did avoid criminal prosecution.

Yesterday, another video was posted to Twitter, this time showing a man being escorted out of the Stellenbosch University library after allegedly masturbating underneath a desk.

News24 reports:

News24 understands that the university’s student affairs department has received numerous emails from concerned students.

The university confirmed it was aware of the video taken of the incident on Tuesday “seemingly showing a man committing an inappropriate act”.

It said campus security escorted the man out at the request of library staff.

“He had earlier signed in as a visitor. The University is investigating the incident as a matter of urgency,” it said in a statement.

“We received an email from a student mentioning that a fellow student had witnessed the incident, and they are being approached for statements.”

It’s these two videos below that have been doing the rounds:

I really don’t get the thrill of knocking one out in public. There are clearly those who revel in it, though, which is why we keep hearing about incidents like this and this.

Oh, and let’s not forget about the Tokai forest masturbator. Apparently, that area is a hot spot for this kind of thing.

Back to the matter at hand:

“While we are working urgently to confirm all the facts in this case, I want to reassure our students that their safety is our priority. I also want to repeat the University’s previous statements that we condemn sexual misconduct of any kind, and are actively working to counter gender-based violence,” said the university’s Chief Operating Officer Prof Stan du Plessis.

Police said that as of the time of writing, no case of public indecency had yet been registered with Stellenbosch police.
