JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (CNN) -- White students at a South
African university tricked black residence hall workers into eating
stew containing urine, prompting a march Wednesday in which five people
were arrested, university officials said.The white students made a video of the incident, which they staged
in reaction to the university's efforts to integrate its residences,
according to a statement from the University of the Free State.The protesters on Wednesday included black and white students who later
marched to the residence where the video was made and demanded that it
be shut down, witnesses said.The video surfaced on Tuesday but was made in September, the university said.In the video, white male students at Reitz Residence are seen
encouraging at least three black female housekeepers to participate in
what the students call the "Reitz Fear Factor," an apparent reference
to the television show in which contestants eat live worms or compete
in other feats.
Watch excerpts of video that sparked outrage » In one scene from the video, a student mixes what looks like a beef
stew in a plastic bowl and adds garlic and other items. Then he tells
the camera he will add the "special ingredient."The student
then urinates into the mixture, which he later stirs up and puts in a
microwave. Other students can be heard laughing on the tape. he next scene shows a different student urging at least three
housekeepers to drink cups full of the stew, saying, "This is our
dorm's 'Fear Factor.' We want to see who has the best 'Fear Factor.'"On the video, the student does not tell the women that there is urine in the mixture.The women, on their knees, spit the stew into buckets after tasting it.
Some appeared to vomit, but the women also laughed during the incident
as the student urged them on. SOURCE OF THIS STORY
