Stellenbosch urination saga: Court finds Theuns du Toit not guilty
Former Stellenbosch University student Theuns du Toit, who caused uproar three years ago when he urinated on the belongings of another student, was found not guilty of two criminal charges in the Stellenbosch Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
Du Toit was charged with crimen injuria and malicious damage to property. He had pleaded not guilty.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila confirmed that Du Toit was acquitted of the charges.
The charges stemmed from the 2022 incident, caught on camera, that showed a drunken Du Toit urinating on the belongings of fellow student Babalo Ndwayana at the university's Huis Marais residence.
