University sexual harassment claims dismissed
Claims by an official at the University of KwaZulu-Natal that the Vice-Chancellor and the chairperson of the university Council sexually harassed her have been dismissed as lies, according to a report on the IoL site, quoting from a City Press report.
A tribunal commissioned to investigate the claims chaired by retired Judge Alan Magid found that the allegations by the Dean of the Faculty of Management Studies, Professor Pumela Msweli-Mbanga, against Vice-Chancellor, Professor Malekgapuru Makgoba, and Council chairperson, Dr Vincent Maphai, were false. Msweli-Mbanga made the charges in writing after the Council decided to institute disciplinary action against her and two other senior colleagues over the irregular awarding of a Master\'s degree to the university\'s chief financial officer, Professor Kanthan Pillay.
