The University of Venda in Limpopo has launched an investigation after a prospective student was asked to pay a bribe to be admitted to the institution shortly after she submitted an application. Around 10 minutes after submitting her application, Qotoyi received a WhatsApp message from an unknown person, who said they had seen her PGCE application on the portal and that they could assist with admission.

University spokesperson, Dr Takalani Victor Dzaga, said the staff member was attached to the department of student administration. Despite the same modus operandi being used, Dzaga said he could not yet confirm whether it was the same staff member or suspended student who had contacted Qotoyi, but could reveal that no one named Tshilidzi Isaac Mulidzi worked at the university.
