In the latest incident, captured on video, female black African students were allegedly confronted by two white males near their residence after visiting a food outlet on Monday.

One of the white males sprays a liquid, which is understood to be water from a spray can, and chases a student while hurling racial slurs, “I will remove your blackness, I will change you.”

In one video of the incident that was shared on social media, the man can be seen running after the student and in another, he is attempting to enter their residence with the water can.

A third video shows angry community members confronting the man, who is a neighbour of the women, outside of his home.

Words were exchanged and the man claimed he had anointed the water while the residents stated it was laced with chemicals.
