There are a number of ways to fight the system.
Gugu Ncube decided to do it naked.
She stationed herself, and a sign, outside of the seat of government, claiming she had suffered abuse at the hands of the University of South Africa (Unisa) and the South African Police Service (SAPS), reports News24.
SAPS arrived in the middle of her protest and arrested her. It took at least four female officers to get her into a van. Take a look:
Ncube is claiming that her superior at a former Unisa-sponsored centre asked her for sexual favours in exchange for keeping her job.
“I want the Unisa management to show the country, Thuma Foundation, Commission For Gender Equality and other interested parties, my resignation letter they claim I tendered. This is my demand,” she told News24 this morning before she started protesting.
When asked why she had decided on a naked protest, Ncube said she had “nothing more to protect”.
“Nudity is a sign of my dignity that l have been stripped of. I have nothing more to protect. My dignity is gone.”
She wants President Cyril Ramaphosa to takes note of this alleged abuse.
She also alleges that she was manhandled after reporting her boss to the SAPS.
“I have seen first-hand [a] commissioner sitting on my supposed tribunal taking bribe money to discredit me.
“I have seen corrupt police come to arrest me unprocedurally because my abuser has money to pay them. I will be heard,” she said.
Unisa claims that Ncube’s claims are incorrect and stem from a misunderstanding.
“It is regrettable that Ms Ncube is persisting with her action of dragging the name of Unisa into her dispute with UCECE (Unisa Centre for Early Childhood Education); and in the process bringing our name into disrepute. Whilst we respect her right to fight for what she believes is unfair treatment towards her, we appeal to her to desist from her actions; and that the name of the university should not be dragged into this matter as it is solely between herself and UCECE”, said Unisa Principal and Vice Chancellor Mandla Makhanya in a statement.
Ncube will likely be charged with public indecency, and will appear in court soon.
