The University of Cape Town’s Black Academic Caucus has raised
concerns that outgoing vice-chancellor Prof. Mamokgethi Phakeng was
publicly forced to take early retirement.
She was recently placed on special leave with immediate effect.
Her exit comes as a four-member panel, led by retired Supreme Court of
Appeal Judge President Lex Mpati, is investigating, among other
things, whether UCT council chairperson Babalwa Ngonyama and
vice-chancellor Prof. Phakeng misled the senate in relation to the
departure of former deputy vice-chancellor Prof. Lis Lange last year.
Chair of UCT Black Academic Caucus Dr. Hlumani Ndlovu explains.
