This article seeks to analyse the infamous urine incident that happened at Stellenbosch University in May 2022. This analysis will be done in relation to space, language, and belonging. The question is: To what extent does the urine incident relate to the issues of space, connection through language, and belonging at Stellenbosch University? Indigenous storytelling methodology is employed to answer the above question. The metaphors of amaXhosa fumntu ngumntu ngabantu¹ and endleleni²) are used to find a connection and pave the way forward.

Keywords : Urine; Endleleni; Umntu; Image of God.
