CAMPUS CRISIS: UCT Academics’ Union to UCT Council – stop unlawful decisions or face legal action

on Thursday, 6 October 2022 at which council members voted to launch an investigation into the UCT Senate rather than look into governance concerns around university vice-chancellor Mamokgethi Phakeng and council chair Babalwa Ngonyama.

The legal letter sent to the UCT Council on Monday describes the proceedings of the council meeting in question as “unlawful”, as a result of “the conflict of interest and bias on the part of the Council Chair, Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Chair of Council [Pheladi Gwangwa] as well the unlawfulness, irrationality and unreasonableness of its decisions”.

Ngonyama’s reversal has not mollified the Academics’ Union. In Monday’s lawyers’ letter, Ngonyama’s statement is described as doubly problematic. “This is contrary to legislation, the common law, the UCT Statute and the UCT’s conflict of interests policy.”

All wyt people are born with a disproportionate level of evil in them.

Long past the time to get the institution back on track! On the fast track to ignominy. Such a charming building and gorgeous architecture with such an ugly modern political facade.
