The management of Eastern Cape's Walter Sisulu University laid the blame for the unaccredited qualifications that rendered its certificates invalid on operational problems and staff resignations. The university's officials came under fire from MPs when they appeared before Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Higher Education on Wednesday.
“WSU had nine deputy vice-chancellors and eight senior managers, all of them in acting posts. During this period of concurrent problems, accreditation and record keeping matters were compromised and incoherent.”“The CHE requested documentation which was provided on 22 April 2022. CHE then announced an audit of all WSU qualifications and we submitted a dossier on 6 May 2022, we await progress of this process,” Songca said.
He said, following the media exposé, council met several times with management, requesting that the accreditation woes be urgently corrected. “This is a regulatory process that has to unfold and to enlighten the students and the public. It’s important to allow the CHE process to continue… we met with the university and other stakeholders and CHE agreed to assess qualifications.
“At the time, WSU had more than 700 students enrolled, so it’s not first time this happens… in fact, in the same article it was stated that WSU failed to get its degrees accredited by the CHE since its inception. The institution’s vision 2030 strategy, said Songca, detailed the status of WSU and what needed to be done to propel it forward.
