Minister Pandor takes action at troubled Vaal University of Technology

Pandor has now intervened and written to the council to call for an independent team to investigate, warning that the current circumstances"undermine the effective functioning of the university".

Pandor responded to the letter, seen by Times Select:"It is indeed unfortunate that the disturbing developments at the university have [led] to your resignation and that of several other council members."Pandor met with the VUT council in mid-April to discuss the allegations of corruption and the many resignations.

"The letter [from Pandor] was tabled for discussion at today's [Tuesday] executive management meeting by the registrar. However, we did not manage to discuss this particular item as we had other items to discuss. The meeting had to be adjourned as the VC [vice-chancellor] and the registrar had to attend another urgent meeting, externally.

Is me Pandor FINALLY beginning to wake up😳👏👏👏👏...like (hopefully) the political party she belongs to? 🙄 ANC

The university’s public apology for the study completely misses the point.
