The Vaal University of Technology says it takes conflict of interest claims seriously.
VUT conducts ‘internal processes’ over alleged bursary conflict of interest involving executive’s sonVaal University of Technology’s head of corporate communications, Dumile Mlambo, said they took allegations of conflict of interest seriously and where such allegations were made, the university would thoroughly investigate them and take appropriate action if necessary.
Mokotsi’s son, Bongani Mokotsi, benefited from the programme. He obtained his National Diploma in Information Technology in 2019 and his Bachelor of Technology in 2020. “The KWS has been discontinued by De Beers Group and the employee who facilitated the programme no longer works for the company,” Mapiloko said.
He said Mokotsi continued to discharge her roles and responsibilities as director of marketing and public relations. She said the allocation of bursaries for staff and their dependents was governed by the Policy on Study Benefits. Jacobs said any allegation of corruption was investigated in terms of the university’s disciplinary processes and procedures.
