This is one of the recommendations by the Ministerial Task Team which was established by the Minister of Higher Education, Science and Training Blade Nzimande to conduct an independent review on Unisa.The task team’s report paints a picture of pervasive incompetency in certain Unisa departments and a culture of non-compliance and lack of consequence management.
“Therefore in respect of the above-the MTT recommends that the minister should issue a directive on account of reasonable belief that Unisa Council is involved in financial impropriety otherwise mismanaged, is unable to perform its functions effectively. And that the minister should dissolve the council. In addition, the minister should appoint a multidisciplinary team of experts that a new council be reconstituted with the revised state of rules.
