Xenophobia claims rock UCT amid voting of a new dean.

This came after his preferred candidate for the dean’s job — a black South African woman — received only 27% of the votes.

The Black Academic Caucus at UCT also lashed out at Lushaba for trying to divide black South Africans from Africans from other countries on the continent.This was a reference to the current acting dean, Shose Kessi, a black Tanzanian woman who is next in line for consideration as the preferred candidate.

Scott Roberts, who works in the UCT law faculty and is a founding member of Progress SA — which he described as an association of young people fighting racial nationalism and extremism, mostly at university campuses — said Lushaba’s “xenophobia is well-known to all”.
