Suspended vice-chancellor Dr Enoch Malaza, who earlier this month was granted an interdict preventing Mangosuthu University of Technology ending his contract, has agreed to leave the institution.
The Mangosuthu University of Technology Selection Committee has recommended the appointment of Professor Nokwethemba Ndlazi as the deputy vice-chancellor for Resources and Planning, who resigned from the institution two years ago.
Universities want to come together to tackle student challenges
The Mercury.
Chairpersons of the councils of 10 universities met in a virtual meeting last week to chart a way forward. At least two institutions of higher learning in KwaZulu-Natal have been beset by violent student protests in the past few weeks.
A statement released last week under the name of Chairpersons of Council of Public Universities convener Morailane Morailane, said the current unrest at some of the universities remains a matter of extreme concern. The statement said the reason for the meeting was to explore how to contribute solutions to issues affecting the public university sector in South Africa, particularly those that manifest in student action that disrupts academic activities.
