According to reports, the family of a urination victim in South Africa will file charges.

According to local media reports, the family of a 20-year-old black student who was the victim of a suspected racial incident at Stellenbosch University will file a criminal complaint against the alleged offender.

He has yet to respond to the scandal, and he was suspended from the institution on Monday for urinating on a black student's things over the weekend.

If he is found guilty, university officials who are examining the case have stated that further action may be taken.

Meanwhile, according to IOL's Weekend Argus newspaper, the victim's family has reported a case of property damage to the police.

The incident, which was captured on film and extensively shared, sparked indignation at the university, with students demonstrating and demanding the suspected perpetrator's dismissal.

The victim can be heard in a video asking the student why he is urinating on his things, which included a now-damaged laptop.

The incident looks to be racially motivated, according to Stellenbosch University and many others who have watched the widely shared video on social media.

Martin Viljoen, a spokeswoman for Stellenbosch University, said in a statement that the university "strongly condemns the damaging, cruel, and discriminatory conduct."

According to university officials, the victim is receiving counseling for the event.

The episode has once again brought attention to South Africa's race issues, decades after apartheid ended.
