Black students and staff members still feel unwelcome and excluded at the Stellenbosch University.
She said the overwhelming evidence before the commission indicated that the university is not an inclusive and welcoming environment for black staffers.
The commission’s investigation comes in the wake of alleged incidents of racism that have rocked the university in the past few months. Khampepe commended the university for the efforts it has made in advancing transformation but added that more work still needs to be done by the university management.
“My only criticism of the university is that it is fairly evident that the formation of its transformation apparatus has occurred in a piecemeal and disjointed fashion. The upshot of this is that the transformation apparatus is actually quite complex, and it can take some time to understand how to navigate the various policies and structures,” said Khampepe.
