Stellenbosch University forced to rerun convocation exco elections after threats of legal action
Four candidates were disqualified from standing for election to posts in the executive committee of convocation at Stellenbosch University .
Stellenbosch University has agreed to hold fresh elections to fill vacant posts on the executive committee of the convocation, after the institution was threatened with legal action by a group that was previously disqualified from participating in the process. Nominees Johan Smit, Bernard Pieters, Isabelle de Taillefer, and DA MP Jan de Villiers, were excluded from standing for election in March after being accused of contravening the university’s institutional rules by using its logo during their campaigning.
After their disqualification, the remaining candidates, Nomzamo Ntombela, Taryn Cohn, Simphiwe Malaza and Lwazi Phakade, were automatically elected on 21 March to the positions for which they had been nominated.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
