EFF statement on the fraudulent conferring of post-graduate degrees to Minister of Public Service and Administration Noxolo Kiviet
13 March 2023
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has noted the shameful reports which implicate the newly appointed Minister of Public Service and Administration Noxolo Kiviet, in the receiving of post-graduate qualifications at the University of Fort Hare without the prerequisite junior degrees.
Kiviet is reported to hold an Honours Degree in Administration and Master's Degree in Public Administration from the University of Fort Hare, while only being in possession of a matric certificate and a non-credit bearing short course certificate wherein the results are handwritten.
These shocking reports give credence to the claims by University of Fort Hare Vice-Chancellor Sakhele Buhlungu, who after an assassination attempt on his life revealed that there are fifteen high-ranking politicians, who are implicated in the fraudulent awarding of post-graduate qualifications at the University. One amongst those is the ally of Cyril Ramaphosa and Premier of the Eastern Cape Oscar Mabuyane.
Kiviet, who is now under investigation by the Special Investigative Unit (SIU) for fraud is a testament to the criminal nature of the collective Cabinet of Cyril Ramaphosa. Ramaphosa has surrounded himself with fraudsters, perpetrators of Gender Based Violence and people who collude with criminals and plot the destruction of their opponents using law enforcement agencies.
