Former UCT chairperson Sipho Pityana, businessman and Save South Africa convener who campaigned for the removal of former president Jacob Zuma to save the country from state capture, failed to save UCT when it most needed decisive leadership.
On Tuesday, in a statement, Ngonyama said the council has noted the UCT ombudsman’s report for 2019 which has resulted in various reports in the media. But on Friday in a statement to the Sunday Independent, there seems to be a change of tone. “There is also an appreciation of the concerns of UCT stakeholders. These important matters are receiving the necessary attention of the chair and the council, who are working to address and resolve the issues raised,” Ngonyama said.
Informality - The Office of the Ombudsman provides additional help, but does not replace, the university’s existing resources for conflict resolution. Ngonyama has to show leadership Pityana lacks, unless she, too, as her biased statement shows, is under UCT vice-chancellor Mamokgethi Phakeng's spell.
