🎓Unisa terminates the contract of registrar Prof Steward Mothata immediately for breaching confidentiality, gross abuse of office, dishonesty and insubordination. UNISA TheCitizenNews Read more⬇️
According to the letter of suspension, Mothata was being investigated for breaching confidentiality, gross abuse of office, gross dishonesty, gross insubordination and giving and making damaging statements in execution of his duties in the public place.
“In addition to the nature of the misconduct and the seriousness thereof, I am convinced that your continued role as the university registrar and secretary of council will continue to jeopardise and undermine the official business of the university and that of council because there exists a reasonable fear that misconduct of a similar nature may continue and concern that you might interfere with the witnesses and the smooth running of the hearing,” reads the letter in part.
“The university also reassures its community and other stakeholders that the business of the university is continuing as usual, i.e. teaching and learning, research and innovation and engaged scholarship,” it said.
