Organizations weigh in on budget speech, Mamokgethi Phakeng to leave UCT, Apartheid Museum disconnected by City Power, DA chooses a new candidate for Tshwane Mayor.
: UCT’s vice-chancellor Mamokgethi Phakeng will part ways with University. She will receive an early retirement package and be paid over R12 million to leave the University before her second term expires in 2028. Her exit follows widespread student protests last week and a governance crisis allegedly due to Phakeng’s mistreatment of senior staff, leading to many senior academics and executives resigning. Her last day will be 3 March.
[The DA and coalition political parties chose Cilliers Brink as its mayoral candidate for Tshwane. Brink is currently an MP and a spokesperson for the DA on cooperative governance and traditional affairs. Tshwane speaker Murunwa Makwarela said that the matter is urgent; however, it remains unclear when a vote for the new mayor will take place. Former Mayor Randall Williams resigned earlier this month with the city’s finances in a dire state – receiving an adverse audit opinion.
