Unisa registrar suspended over ‘policy breaches, misconduct’
The University of South Africa has suspended its registrar, Professor Steward Mothata, for a period of 90 days due to allegations of policy breaches and misconduct.
In a letter addressed to Mothata by the institution, he is accused of gross abuse of office, gross dishonesty and insubordination.
The exact details of the allegations which led to his suspension remain unclear.
