JOHANNESBURG - Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande has announced that Unisa
will be placed under administration.

This follows a report by an independent assessor revealing serious financial and
other maladministration within the university.

• Unisa 150th: Lenkabula denies any misconduct as VC, only 'marked improvements'

• Unisa struggling to get a grip on exam cheating

This also comes on the back of the institution’s registrar, Steward Mothata,
being fired for breaching the code of ethics and conduct earlier this year.

Nzimande said that he trusted that the appointment of an administrator was in
the best interest of the university.

Department spokesperson Ishmael Mnisi: "The Ministerial Task Team (MTT)
conducted an independent review of Unisa’s mission drift, which had massive
implications on the financial sustainability and future of Unisa. The MTT also
made rigorous assessments on how the fourth industrial revolution and its
associative disruptions and shifts will affect many aspects of the academic
mission, academic programmes, markets and operating model of Unisa."
