News24: "Bloemfontein - Two students behind an alleged racist video in which five black university workers appear to be duped into eating food apparently tainted with urine have apologised and said they acted without malice.
Roelof Malherbe and Schalk van der Merwe, who have been banned from the campus of the University of the Free State, said on Friday that although it appeared as if the food had been urinated on, a 'harmless' liquid had been squirted from a bottle.
The video, which showed four middle-aged women and one man on their knees eating the food, has been seen around the world, exposing deep racial tensions in the country, more than a decade after racist white rule ended"
