A Facebook status update written by UCT\u2019s black SRC vice-president Zizipho Pae has sparked massive uproar on social media and the student community in Cape Town.<\/p>\n
Many interpreted Pae\u2019s status as being related to the US Supreme Court ruling last week requiring states to allow same-sex marriages.<\/p>\n
\u201dWe are institutionalising and normalising sin! Sin. May God have mercy on us,\u201d Pae wrote.<\/p>\n
Her statement came two days after the US court\u2019s decision which effectively legalised same-sex marriage in all 50 states in the country.<\/p>\n
