The chairperson of the University of Cape Town’s council, Babalwa Ngonyama, has resigned with immediate effect. | GroundUp_News
An interim report following a probe into governance issues at UCT has recommended that the chair of the institution's council be removed.The panel leading the probe said Ngonyama had refused to cooperate with its investigation.
"This together with her threatened attempt to stymie the work of the panel through an ill-conceived legal stratagem is further proof that she cannot be trusted to fulfil her fiduciary duty to the university. Ngonyama said the fact that the panel had refused to give her access to statements made against her"conflicted with a basic tenet of procedural fairness".
Ngonyama had no authority to approach Lange in connection with her second term, with that authority resting squarely in the office of the VC; In her written response to the Senate, Ngonyama falsely claimed, in response to questions about the circumstances surrounding Lange's departure, that the reasons for her departure were"personal and confidential". In addressing the question of renewal of the former VC's term, Ngonyama further falsely claimed the Lange matter was"still with Lange and the vice-chancellor";
