has continued to publish updates on events at UCT based on leaked documents and information from confidential sources – as journalists do. This has certainly been in the public interest, given the sparse and sometimes misleading information emanating from UCT’s official channels over this period.
Disclosure: In the interests of transparency, Daily Maverick here lists staff members and paid contributors with links to UCT. None of the people listed below was quoted in, or used as sources for, this story: Daily Maverick paid contributor Pierre de Vos is the Claude Leon Foundation Chair in Constitutional Governance at UCT.
PHAKENG CLAIM: Phakeng was told the panel investigation would go away if she took a settlement, but she insisted that the investigation continue as she was so certain it would exonerate her. However, she was told this was impossible: ‘No, no, no, the panel is going away; we are removing everything about the panel’.
In time this Daily Maverick... The truth about their political agenda, the truth behind it... I mean the truth will out... SOUTH AFRICA DESERVES an independent media...
The only thing I know for certain is that Mamokgethi Phakeng is one of too many that slipped through the neurodiversity radar. I genuinely hope things better for her with that R12mil. It'll help pay for her sessions. Good luck to UCT's renewal.
A little fire roasting your arses there. So Integrity matters to you than it mattered for her?
Even if it's misleading, I will believe her over your truth... So for now just shut it.
Why must Daily Maverick play God every time. If that's her account, it's her account - don't speak for her. She must tell her story the best she knows how. Now DM wants to speak for her. We have very racist journalists in this country masquerading as investigative journalists!
Not surprising, since all of your reporting about many black leaders & professionals is never positive anyway!🚮
One thing I learned from Apartheid supporters in the Venerable Halls of Tersiary Academics that is also true for Liberal Academics…….Academia does not hide arseholes well!
This article is really embarrassing Rebecca Davis, you should have been ashamed of putting your name on it and publishing it 😬
Why are these medicated creatures given any airtime ? Another disappointing , expensive & questionable appointment … seems we are slowly getting rid of many of them in various high level positions - the key is to never allow these types to infiltrate these positions again .
Stop masquerading as a media outlet and openly declare your political allegiance to DA.
We are clearly not all the same.Why is that considered wrong?Why is it compulsary that we act like we are?
Does dailymaverick do a fact checking article on everyone who goes to JJ Tabane’s show or do they do it when there are mentioned on any platform?is there a trend of when and why they do fact checking
Misleading! Misleading njani
SA is very racist country and racists can’t hide it. If this is what they can do to Prof Phakeng, imagine what other black graduates are going through within Corporate SA, many are silent and going through depression because they have to put bread on the table.
Curious. The question then becomes, why is there a need to fact check this interview? If it is in the quest of truth - which certainly is good - have similar fact checking exercises been done for other news worthy interviews? What is the editorial policy at play?
👌
Great job DM.
That was quick😂😂😂 I guess eNCA won't upload it on YouTube lol
I regard DM highly but this series on the VC, not so sure. Little attempt to even hide the (racial?) bias. Many conflicts of interest, vague allegations, sensationalist article titles. IOL type conjecture/gossip fueled her ousting rather than fact. Expected better from becsplanb
Governance crisis at UCT has not started with Phakeng & it is not solely because of her. It was there with her predecessor, but because he is a white male, but you never carried out any character assassinations on him. We see your hypocrisy
Glad to see the back of it.
Fuseg wena Daily Maverick!!!🤮🤮🤮
Daily Maverick you're joke shame it is misleading because the inteview didn't nurse your feelings and your fragile egos?it is not everyone who'll be kowtowing to your feelings
The black purge continues
Prof Phakeng outed the trash publication that you are.
Voetsek
Wouldn’t it be nice if you fact checked the president from time to time? Or even just a minister or two?
Mxm
Considering your hard-hitting journalism, it is a disappointing read and not the expected level of reporting. You could have returned with an article to refute the claims and presented with rigour and vigour. Do better, guys. This comes out as a WhatsApp exchange in digital print
Honestly speaking you are just a trashy tabloid. All the best to this African Queen we love and admire her Phakeng
Daily Maverick is the same publication that convinced us EFF collapsed Vbs and yet no charges have been preferred to any EFF member now they are discrediting the first black women VC at UCT for simply wanting to transform a racist institution.
Typical arrogance of people in leadership positions
Trash media outlet this Daily Maverick … You were exposed by the Professor yesterday and now you’re trying to defend your shameful bias! Sies!
Bloody racist....
A fact checking article that is full of gossip 🤣
DM and fact-check🤭
The facts clearly hurt, lots of chest pains🤣
Are all your stories on Phakeng written by one person? Cause some one is
RacismDog
Poisonous journalism 🤮🤮🤮🤮 a media house that is hell-bent to destroy an African child is driven by wickedness Dailymaverickmustfall Dailymaverickmustfall Dailymaverickmustfall Dailymaverickmustfall Dailymaverickmustfall
You're unethical, you're pushing wmc agenda. Dailymaverickmustfall
I am disappointed with you. You're hell-bent on your anti-transformation agenda. You think everyone is stupid to believe that it was whistle-blowers who leaked UCT confidential information not Gerda Kruger? Dailymaverickmustfall
We Thank you, Love you and Weldone 👏 FabAcademic UCT_VC
UCT is well rid of that person. Giving her a totally undeserved golden handshake of 12 million is disgusting.
Biased publication especially against black people, you did this nonsense to the leadership of the EFF without any valid proof.
Voetsek
Fact check yamasimba tsek
You are obsessed, you should be channeling this energy in putting pressure to our President to start dealing with corruption that probably lead us to experiencing stage 6 of LS
Mxm
You should be really embarrassed, Well done to Proff Phakeng for causing you more chest pains.
Prof is keeping racists children of the devil awake 🙆🏽♂️
Biased, low-standard buffoonery gossip. What the hell is this! It is embarrassing that the daily maverick has stooped this low just because your editor is heavily conflicted on the UCT issue. What a disgrace!
This is embarrassing from Daily Maverick! Stopped all the way down to IOL levels
Disgusting Daily Maverick.
Voetsek. Blody racist agents
Tsek... Fact check De Reyter
Daily Maverick is on a mission
This is very desperate and stupid. You cannot saying that you are presenting facts but still use the word 'MAY'. FabAcademic I believe you.
A libellous purveyor of note that JJ
Of course you'll do fact check, don't you think you are not in position to that since you are conflicted 🤷🏿
Who is the executive that is dishing info to th3 DM?
Do you do a 'fact-check' on all JJTabane guests?
Oksalayo we love FabAcademic ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Who fact-checks you?
Good UCT fired her arrogant ass
She aint a VC' ass. good riddance
Demonic Madness
Le sele hampe lona
pierredevos funded by Daily Maverick 🤔🤭
someone who rode on the back of hundreds of years of hard work and sacrifice of others -who established and built UCT.. what did she contribute?
Fact check?
FabAcademic Holds More Qualifications Than your Entire Board Yet you believe you can Fact-Check her! Your Racism is Showing and South Africa won’t Forget!
There was no fact checking after the recent exit interview of the other guy. You went out of your to try corroborate it. Such naked hatred.
You still remain a foreign organization pushing CIA agendas ...you are only making her a hero to the majority and in the court of public opinion we dont care what Phala Phala or sleepy joe think
Well done to Phakeng for asserting and protecting herself by calling Professor JJ Tabane to order as he got carried away and fed into the stereotype of labeling her as disruptive. She was feisty and for a moment I thought 'she was gonna walk out of the interview.'
Your bias against her is now glaring as now you wanna lead a chorus for UCT to now refuse Phakeng the the R12 Million settlement. Obviously as a publication you will hide behind non-disclosure agreement and what not. BUT EVEN de Ruyter got given a chance to cough out.
To credit budget deficit and a decrease of donors on Phakeng is outrageous and disingenuous on your part as a publication. Is this Budget deficit and lack of donors UNIQUE ONLY to UCT? Are 27 other South African universities not having budget deficits and lack of enough donors?
The varsity Ombudsman should be more worried about the mental maturity, the honesty and integrity of those lodging 37 bullying cases 'against one person.' By your admission 'no individual has had so many complaints against her before.' Not possible/believable she is a bully.
The scary part is where they list people from UCT working for them. So acting as if you were receiving EXCLUSIVE tip offs is untrue. You were just part of the office gossip FACT!
You cannot claim as a fact the Communications and marketing executive is not one of your whistleblowers given you are journalistically not compelled to name your sources anyway(so she could be your protected source). 37 bullying claims? Imagine 37! Just to create a pattern.
As if we needed more evidence that is paid media with specific agendas
Hogwash
Being the head of the home isn't easy, you are expected to provide for the home, I lost my job during the pandemic and relied on the little money I had,things were hard until I met Lisa_berry77 and started Bitcoin trading, I earned R150,000 in 3 weeks thanks Lisa_berry77
How about some as in electrical power
Sies!
