Unisa placed under administration

Higher Education Minister, Blade Nzimande, has placed Unisa under

Administration and gazetted his decision.

According the government gazette, Professor Ihron Rensburg, starting from Friday, takes over the role, powers, functions, and duties of the Council and University management for 24 months.

This puts an end to a dispute between Nzimande and university vice-chancellor Puleng LenkaBula.

Earlier this month, LenkaBula successfully interdicted Nzimande from placing the institution under administration.

Nzimande’s decision follows the recommendations of an independent assessor which found financial and maladministration of a serious nature.

Rensburg served as Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the University of Johannesburg between 2006 and 2017.
