The university announced the decision yesterday evening, having carried out a disciplinary hearing which started last month.
Theuns du Toit’s disciplinary hearing kicked off yesterday but there was one very notable absentee.
In the days and weeks after the video went viral, Theuns du Toit’s friends and family went to great lengths to explain that he wasn’t racist and that “his parents did not raise him like that”.
A video showing Theuns du Toit’s apology to Babalo Ndwayana at an emergency house meeting has been widely criticised for showing a lack of remorse.
