Respected UFS Business School director Dr Udesh Pillay convened a meeting with black staff to hear their concerns, after which he planned to hold diversity training with all his colleagues. Pillay was promptly reported by a university ‘whistle-blower’. ...

into the governance crisis at the University of Cape Town — reveal that Pillay is not taking his suspension lying down.Lawyers for Pillay wrote to university HR director SJ van Jaarsveld, Rector Francis Petersen and Economic and Management Sciences Faculty Dean Philippe Burger in early November demanding the lifting of Pillay’s “unlawful” suspension.

They say Pillay had also raised “the issue of the centralised locus of power and control at the UFS and the associated impact such clandestine structures have on the attainment of the organisation’s stated transformation goals”. At several moments during the recording Pillay can be heard expressing surprise at the nature of the questions, at one point suggesting that it feels like a “performance review”.

I've met this gentleman; his passion for the business school is unmatched. The white whistle-blower is threatened by a possibility of 'equality. A Mamokgethi scene replayed once again and still we pretend we don't know what/who the problem is?

Oh dear - yet another useless carpetbagger incapable of doing his job ! it's just not possible to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear ! carpetbagger Gupta racecard jussiesmollet UdeshPillay UFSBusinessschool

These 'whistle-blowers' should just be allowed to be racist, but they must be moored from time to time

So trying to get African colleagues in a safe place to tell their issues leads to a suspension, what I f he asked the whites thereafter to name their issues and brought both sides in to reAch an agreement.
