CAPE TOWN - 'It's fake news!'

The Cape Peninsula University of Technology said that it did not issue a notice about "musturbation" (sic).

The notice in which the word masturbation is misspelt, has been shared on social media and many have poked fun at the post.

"Musturbation in the showers is a violation of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology".

"The Shower drains are not designed to handle semen!” it continued.

"The excessive amount of semen in the drains cost thousands of rands in maintenance and must be reflected in housing price increase for the next year. It's your money. Please musturbate in your own room."

But CPUT has distanced itself from the post.

The institution said that the only comment it had was that the notice was fake.

Some Twitter users questioned the authenticity of the document while others poked fun at it.

@Cput is this really true? Damn...what do you teach at the #Cput ? And then you cannot even spell that word... https://t.co/6dMYmrxTkT

This #CPUT notice does not look genuine nor does it read logically. @Bruinou2 @cput @cputstudents pic.twitter.com/f5xQ5SSxKv
