WALTER SISULU UNIVERSITY IN TROUBLE OF UNACCREDITED COURSES

 


Walter Sisulu University’s accreditation debacle will affect thousands of students who will have to wait until the issues are resolved before they attend their graduation ceremonies which were due to take place in May.

On Sunday, the under-fire university issued a statement saying all graduation ceremonies were being postponed as management scrambles to iron out issues with courses that were flagged as lacking the relevant accreditation.

News of the postponement of graduation ceremonies was not well received by students who expressed anger and frustration on their university’s Facebook page right under the post.

It has been almost a month since the Daily Dispatch reported that a number of WSU courses had been flagged as unaccredited.

In a letter to vice-chancellor Professor Rushiella Songca and deputy vice-chancellor for academic affairs and research, Professor Mzikayise Binza, WSU’s registrar Dr Lulamile Ntonzima sought their guidance on the matter.

“VC [vice-chancellor], I believe there will never be a correct time to tackle this problem. And I am not comfortable to issue certificates, sign them and pass them to you for your signature when I know they are not in good standing and/or are questionable. Please advise,” Ntonzima wrote.

The registrar said the programmes should be deactivated from the university’s system.

The ‘tea-spiller’ even went as far as linking DJ Sbu to the disappearance of Zahara’s South African Music Awards (SAMA) trophies. All the while, he kept dark and disturbing secrets of his own. At least, this is what is being said about the microblogger.
