This how Fort Hare University vice-chancellor Prof Sakhela Buhlungu described the court appearance of his six co-workers who appeared alongside nine other accused for various crimes including corruption, fraud and murder linked to the university.
One of the 15 people who appeared at the Dimbaza magistrate's court in Eastern Cape yesterday for alleged crimes at Fort Hare University was vocal on anti-corruption during the memorial service of his colleague Mboneli Vesele, the murdered bodyguard of vice-chancellor Prof Sakhela Buhlungu.
At least four of the 15 people arrested in connection with murders and attempted murders at the University of Fort Hare had been placed on suspension by the university since 2022.
The Eastern Cape government says it has been kept in the dark by the department of higher education and training on the progress of the University of Fort Hare’s request to establish a Veterinary Sciences School, which is likely to open its doors in 2025 if things go as planned. This was revealed by rural development and agrarian reform MEC Nonkqubela Pieters in her recent response to ANC MPL Dr Fundisile Bese’s question in the provincial legislature.
