This comes after LenkaBula allegedly approved irregular payments of more than R72 million for staff to purchase laptops without council’s approval.

This woman is a scam. UNISA doesn't print study guides anymore that we initially pay for. Which is the least of my problems but where tf is my company supposed to supply paper now... mxm she must step down
Hands off LenkaBula
So many great things that Prof Puleng has achieved ever since she became a VC.. some don't even make it to your headlines.. niyaPainelwa 🚮🚮
City Press, “check your facts before” putting this malicious fallacy up! With the lowest number of academics per ratio to students-served in the country, Unisa was given greenlight to “lead” the “online educational project” as the only Open Distance e-learning HEI in SA. Come on!
Why should the Council be in the business of approving laptop purchases, shouldn't it be departmental decisions? You're also not telling the full story of how the decision was made. Hands off LenkaBula!
Mo_Thebu 🤣🤣🤣the lies, the lies my friend 😂😂
Put her in jail!!! That’s where she belongs
kulanicool 72 bar!? I'm sure even the gardeners dog got a laptop there
Ofs5B Now they are finding fault bcoz every black person is corrupt. If it was whitey, or would have been swept under the carpet.
Why does City Press reprint this article?
LenkaBula If you are not guilty, you don’t have to retweet this. In all the stress that you put us through as students, we believe this because everything went straight to south 🚮🚮 ever since you took over. No graduation SMSz for Durban, what about those who come must book accommodation?
unisa LenkaBula VC, pull him/her down syndrome is the worst when change happens. Council can surely regularise this. Many of us out here, appreciate your good work. Of course, there is tbis tiny minority in the twitter world, joining faceless voices in the deep. Do not despair!
corruptions seems genetic in SA.
Now that UNISA staff has state of the art Laptops, can they do their job. I have been waiting for my certificate for three months.
There must be someone who want this purchase of laptops to be on tender so that they can double the price.
Wendy94669657 Another looting incompetent anc cadre.
She is Leadership.....We are tired of red tapes. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
CEOs must follow policies and delegations of the org. SCM: The correct delegated authority must approve the transaction. Mistakes happen - then Council reviews and, if satisfied condones that irregular exp. Implement: Consequence Management and Improve Internal Controls.
Another failure, and the list goes on. Black excellence!!
Media can be so misleading though. We moved from old laptops that were slow & crashed frequently...to new, working, state of the art laptops. That kept the academic project going. How can you fault the VC for being progressive, being pro-active & enabling work despite lockdowns
The staff benefited and that's good
Follow processes and never do anything that is not the right thing to do. May you sit in jail.
Why all the stealing? This lady should have made us proud, in stead, she follows in ANC government footsteps.
It's because she's black if she was white you would not fight her
Cost containment is a thing, but ke most people are just forming their opinions purely based on the headline and not the article .
City Press, Hands-off our darkie intellects! I wish she can approve more resources to empower our blacks to be inventive...
Propaganda alive here
vusi74285522 Unisa is not same foreigners run the show there
Dear LenkaBula You need to start cleaning your office, your executive team is betraying you, one or a group of them are feeding office bearers with false info, just to undermine your authority. Just lead and preserve the integrity of that institution!
UNISAPress Hands Off the VC. Where was her executive? It was for the staff not her personal use. Find better news don’t bore us
Bafuna ukumsusa 😏
Irregular means procedurally there was a problem in the procurement of the laptops. Does not mean no value. You would be surprised at private and listed companies that give family, friends and board members business.
Lol it seems these foreigners are really fighting one another. It seems the Zimbos there aren't happy a Lesotho national was appointed. All this could be resolved ensuring we PutSouthAficansFirst at all times or we'll forever pay the cost of overlooking our own.
Why is she being attacked? There is a reason, without doubt. The land of PhalaPhalaGateFarm
From which country does she hail?
This lady is always in trouble, does she even know her job Mara?
She's doing a great job there.
Gold plated?
If the past 28 years are anything to go by, we as black people aren't after developing ourselves, we just want what whites have.
WMC attack on this lady is because she closed the tap
Hopefully the VC did account for this purchase to the council? If she did, there is no corruption involved.
But what is wrong with that? Those are tools of trade
this is a lie city press is promoting crooks who are disgruntled that Lenkabula has closed the taps of corruption. The union thugs with matric cannot be earning like a professor thats madness. why are they not playing the clip from that union thug threatning to kill people?
Why are there always disqualifying tendencies against qualified African females at the helm of leading SA institutions of higher learning? Prof Phakeng experienced it at UCT in her first 2 years, now Prof Puleng.
The moment the EFFSouthAfrica supported her appointment I got worried, she is a Lesotho National, Dr Motsoaledi must verify if no South African was available to occupy her post.
Something sinister...... you want to destroy this woman qha. I doubt if your story has any merit apart from a sinister motive.
Dankie tog, now they can attend to the needs of students and perhaps respond to emails..
We are very much aware of the obfuscatory narrative you are pushing in order to peculiarly paint prof as a typical failed black female leader. We have been observing.
siza_mhayise LenkaBula is just a criminal
Eatist within Unisa are not happy. This article show signs of unhappiness, the tap is closed for looters.
Please tell us more about GlenCore and RamaBillion. PhalaPhalaGate PhalaPhalaGate PhalaPhalaGate PhalaPhalaGate PhalaPhalaGate
This article peddles pernicious conjectures -'Gutter/Yellow Journalism'lacking Substantive Facts, Research &Truth.Telling Publics that unisa bought laptops for R72million& not Stating that WE saved Unisa R450Million is Duplicitous🙄! Unisa's a Societal Asset not your PLAYGROUND.
Judaeda3 She must be deported back to the Lesotho mountains where she belongs
Island_Tribe17 Gosh...this story again.
student accounts to debt collectors even if they didn't receive their results. What a wonderful world of capitalists headed by the corrupt capitalist Thabo Mbeki.
With Thabo Mbeki as a chancellor, things fall apart. Blade Nzimande appointee certified by Mbeki who sought the extension of his chancellorshp at UNISA without due processes. UNISA students who owe money are being g punished for being black and poor by taking their unresolved
LenkaBula There is a serious onslaught to discredit our VC, who thus far has done exceptionally well, including dismantling the corrupt network that had intrenched itself for years... hands of Prof. LenkaBula's hands off!!!
Looks like some witch-hunt this. Haai..
Council would have approved the budget, no need for council to get involved in operational matters of the university. Unless the issue is that they were not budgeted for. (Those who have subscription pls read and tell us the facts)
Survivorexit A good laptop cost 25k+ so if they bought for more than 2000 staff then it’s a good payment
Not surprising, that's why UNISA has become such a disgraceful institute. Used to be a highly rated institute until you know who took over.
LenkaBula Interesting how both LenkaBula and FabAcademic are continuously being subjected to the most vitriolic of media campaigns!
I see you RT'd this Prof LenkaBula. 😂😂
I hope this is not what I think it is
Since day one poor Professor, there's been efforts to mudsling her.
Looting simplyfied...fuckers Also in Giyani Limpopo Province people looted a Beer Truck...VoetsekANC via VehicleTrackerz
This is no joke or politics but financial prudence.
Azikhale 😂
I'm sure there were funds approved by council allocated to all departments for purchasing laptops by VC . The departments would then buy laptops and file receipts for reconciliation purposes. VC most probably only did fund allocation after consulting with Deans.
She must go
Wow...that amount could have made Dell even come to SA to deliver... Nonsense tenders
Jackson Mthembu once said: don't buy city press don't buy
Doesn’t Council ratify what CEO has approved?
maggsnaidu Decent developer notebook you can get for R30k, so that's 2400 laptops 🤔
Someone is not happy about her hope is not those illegal foreigners who have taken over the institution or those OR Tambo so called Maqxabane.
Hahaha she closed the Tap for amaqane ka Tambo😂😂😂
If the laptops can be accounted for, great, they are university assets. Phantsi with redtape, forward with disruptive progressive moves.
University council are total unaware of the struggles that faculty members endure to deliver the curriculum to students. She did well by providing the laptops.
I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.
Honestly thers a fight against this lady personally what is that for one wonders.
These are small potatoes. Council can always condone the expenditure post-facto if the VC furnishes good reasons for the deviation.
Question is were the laptop required or not
Carpet sweeping
Oh Lordy Lordy.... Dont we have any corrupt whites in SA
Is the staff even back at work?
Another bungle up
😂😂😂 the institution is becoming dysfunctional
There is just nothing to say anymore.....
This one is very useless
Weeeeee 🙆♀️
