“Quite strangely, but not unexpected, given its reluctance to implement its own sexual harassment policy to the extent that it had to be directed by the court, the university council did not defend its own report which ultimately led to Prof Mbati obtaining a default order,” said the committee.
In his affidavit dated 13 March 2017, Modise confirmed under oath that Mbati had conceded that he had a sexual relationship with Phendla.“It is noteworthy to state that the applicant improperly sought to influence me to amend my report,” said Modise in the affidavit. “From the information available to the committee, it’s quite clear that Prof Mbati has employed a combination of stratagem, which included litigation and possible collusion with the university council, to avoid being held to account for the serious allegation of sexual harassment.
The committee said it would conduct a preliminary inquiry into the fitness of Mbati to be appointed and to hold the office of vice-chancellor of Sefako Makgatho University.
