The sister of Professor Bongani Mayosi, the late Dean of Health Sciences at UCT who took his own life in July 2018, has penned a scathing letter to VC Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng about a Twitter post in which she equated Mayosi's name with suicide.

Phakeng is under increasing pressure after a late-night decision by the UCT Council on Saturday to appoint a retired judge and independent panel to probe allegations of misconduct against her.

Last week, she sought support on Twitter and made reference to her mental health in a number of posts. In one reply she stated she"almost went the Mayosi route in 2020". She added:"Thank God for my psychiatric treatment which I'm still on. I am stronger now."Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.

I can't wait for UCT to get in the white hands, and show the clever blacks where to get off.. Erasing transformation strides achieve thus far.. Black people are tiring.. But continue, you helping whites with their agenda!

A black person in South Africa once said 'delete all amabhunu' and he was called names by blacks. We should've done it a long time ago but it's never too late magwala ndini

Fvck off

She's the one disgusting, pathetic and unashamed. She thinks we are as gullible as her white friend who convinced her to come erite rubbish on media here. If she had an inch of self respect and dignity, she would have known how to address her concerns not this side show rubbish

Fokof News24 and together with his sister there using his name in vain. Fokof

It's no secret that Mayosi committed suicide, that's a fact and the sister knew that he battled mental issues for some time. It's not like he died in a car accident. If only Prof could grow up more, tweet less and give her office the dignity it deserves.

Ofhie57405558 Phakeng did not kill Mayosi. I understand she must have been left devastated. However attacking Phakeng won't heal her.

She was reponding 2 a post, she didn't bring the late prof 2 the topic bt ke we all know that when the knives r out 4 u evn your coughs r offensive 2 some & they will gun 4 your fall. Strength 2 u FabAcademic, I pray this doesn't shake u & that your God & your ancestors cover u

Mkhwebane number 2 this one.

So no one is shook that Prof Phakeng had those kind of thoughts and now she is on psychiatric medication?

Voetsek news24. Voetsek Naspers.

It's very disgusting of black people who are allowed to be used against their own. We are tired of people like adv. Manyosi. Se gat man. Why don't you address this directly to Prof. Why make a media spectacle when she's fighting racists. Voetsek This is disgusting of you. Nxa.

How’s that a misconduct UCT_news?

Jonathan_Witt

All Prof did, was to highlight that the environment almost driven her to the same eventuality.

They are coming for her

Still waiting for you to run a story on the pornfessor...

Kanti what killed Prof Mayosi?🤔

Re tlo thiba ka dibono nou

Bathong, le busy thle😭😭😭😭😭

She needs to apologize to the family. Her comment was callous, yho I can’t believe she 1) thought it and 2) felt strongly enough about it to put on social media. Deeply disappointing nje

You guys are wolves. Destroying anything that is not in your pack. One day is one day.

Hai...theyre busy with the poor woman.if she farts...its also gonna be reported .

Wmc propaganda media is busy yoo,they really hate black people who are not captured by their evil system

I'm convinced Prof Phakeng did nothing wrong. News24 is the Nkabi of character assassinations.

Women really can't stand each other...

Shem another one paid to join operation remove Prof Phakeng campaign ….. this is not a concern sister. This is a paid sister. She could have called phakeng if she was concerned. A whole Adv allowing herself to be used. It’s a pity

What is taking your own life to death if not suicide?

News24 is known for sensationalism.

News24 is a propaganda outlet. The reporting for the past couple months has been nothing but paid attacks against other people.

Mayosi don't fall a prey of helping oppressors and slavers fight their battles. It's been their game to enlist what X calls house niggers to fight their battles, cause they won't succeed without that inhumanity. You smarter than that, let them fight the VC alone. We r behind her.

It seems Phakeng is making a series of mistakes.

The hate on prof is spiteful and we’re seeing through it! Y’all can’t accept a black educated woman running 🏃‍♀️ things. Y’all Go jump to the nearest HELL!

When Dr Max Price was the VC the focus was on education& academics. Now we have a black VC & it's all about petty politics and personal agendas!!When do Black leaders focus on their core purpose instead of ego? Black leadership is a problem everywhere in SA

The media is using the same tactics to get people on their side to remove another black person so that a white person can move in and blacks will fall for it

We stand with FabAcademic , go to hell news24

Enghumbhini tshidi_lee nangu umuntu omnyama is being attecked by ama boss wenu nithule nithini zikhothanamdidi yabelungu?

They do not agreed with her reappointment for another term and they want her out I guess. I mean they are failing to put her based on merit and now they are using things which got nothing to do with her appointment and performance just to out her

We told this women to stay away from clout, Her Boss Dr Precious Moloi Motsepe is doing her work in silence this one is all over the place.

Anizolenza ixesha.

Genuine leader, VC Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng. Ba nang le li-chest pain, le tsekisa VC Prof Phakeng eng?

Her tweet was very insensitive and immature for someone of her age. Not surprised that Mayosi’s family are angry.

Africans get paid to destroy Africans

I was wondering when y'all would join the chat.... Popai

Once the establishment decides the send sniffer dogs and snipers in newsrooms to intensify on the onslaught. While SARS is busy combing the returns. But every dog has it's day.

She has her whatsapp details. We did not need to get involved.

This is nuts now, UCT ya bora now

Phakeng is under attack, why are you out in fullswing against her yet the internal process to probe allegations has not started.

Tshifhiiwa MbueMK ni fhire hafha after church 🤦🏿‍♀️

UCT crisis: Council meeting stalled as deputy chair refuses to recuse herself | News24A UCT council sitting to deliberate on an independent investigation against the university's vice-chancellor Mamokgethi Phakeng and council chairperson, Babalwa Ngonyama, stalled on Saturday when the deputy chair of the council refused to recuse herself. This is just getting petty. It's becoming clear by the day that the so called concerned Council members will only be satisfied if their coup is realized. Prof Phakeng excused herself from the session yet they still cry foul. Oodoti! Ludicrous

OPINION | David Benatar: The fall of UCT will continue | News24The author of 'The Fall of the University of Cape Town', Professor David Benatar, writes that the problem at the university runs much deeper than the vice-chancellor, who is at least as much a symptom of UCT's fall as its cause. d_benatar It all went to shit once they agreed to move Rhodes, and capitulated to the demands of the wailing shouty PC brigade. d_benatar Voetsek. d_benatar UCT has been on a steady decline for years. US on the same path. Give precedence to students from the Western Cape.
