Johannesburg - Controversial University of Cape Town #FeesMustFall activist Ntokozo Qwabe said that he should have whipped a white student, after he was filmed knocking a cellphone out of the student's hands with a stick, the telegraph.co.uk reported.
Qwebe made headlines earlier in the year after boasting about making a waitress cry “white tears” when he told her she would only get a tip when white people returned South Africa back to its black population.
In the latest incident Qwebe was filmed using a stick to knock a student's phone out of his hands at a student protest at the UCT Law Faculty.

The Telegraph website stated that Qwabe later took to Facebook after the incident to deny having assaulted the student after the video emerged on social media.
“Not true that I 'assaulted' and 'whipped with a stick' a white student during our shutdown of the arrogant UCT Law Faculty yesterday!
“Although I wish I'd had actually not been a good law abiding citizen and whipped the white apartheid settler colonial entitlement out of the bastard - who continued to record us without our consent - this is not what happened as the media is reporting.”
Qwebe was also the student behind the failed #RhodesMustFall campaign at Oxford University. He was later labelled a hypocrite when it came out that he was at the university through funding by the scholarship set up by Rhodes.
