Report recommends university be placed under administration

EyeWitness News 20 May 2023

A report into the affairs of the University of South Africa (UNISA) that was commissioned by Minister of Higher Education Blade Nzimande recommended that the university be placed under administration, writes Ndaedzo Nethonzhe for EyeWitness News.

This was after allegations of maladministration, as well as tender irregularities involving the university’s vice-chancellor and principal, Puleng LenkaBula.

The scathing report, compiled by Professor Themba Mosia, detailed how millions of rands were misused under the watch of both the university’s council and management. Mosia found that since 2016 UNISA has been plagued by governance issues.
