Minister Nzimande serves UNISA with a notice to place UNISA under administration
5 October 2023
The Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, Dr Blade Nzimande has served a notice of his intention to place the University of South Africa (UNISA) Under Administration.
Minister Nzimande will announce his final decision tomorrow, Friday, 06th October 2023.
The Minister delayed to make his decision on mutual agreement that the period of the written representations be extended to the 4th September 2023.
Being mindful of the legal and administrative requirements, the Minister awaited the response of the UNISA Council and nothing of substance happened more than a month, instead the Council is going about its business as if there is no pending decision to be taken. As a result, the Minister cannot wait indefinitely without taking a decision.
