Shock, outrage and support dominated social media as a former Unisa staff member was arrested for staging a naked protest at the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Wednesday.
#GuguNcube trended on social media as video footage of a woman being forcefully removed by the police went viral.
The woman, identified as Gugu Ncube, carried a placard that read, "The police are used to intimidate, threaten and harass me. I was raped and sexually harassed.
"I am a victim of sexual harassment at UNISA. They claim that I resigned, I never resigned. They chased me away from work because I refused to sleep with my manager."
