Four white South Africans have been convicted of humiliating five black university domestic staff after a video of the incident was posted online.
The men, all students at the University of the Free State at the time, had been on trial but earlier pleaded guilty to crimen injuria.
The video showed the five staff being made to kneel and forced to eat food which had apparently been urinated on by one of the students.
The men will be sentenced on Wednesday.
The video of a mock initiation ceremony caused a national outcry and protests against racism when it surfaced in 2008.
The BBC's Karen Allen, in court in the predominantly white town of Bloemfontein, says the trial has been seen as deeply symbolic in a country trying to come to grips with its racially divided past, 16 years after the end of white minority rule.
