Show Notes
The University of South Africa (Unisa) secured a significant victory in court against its former registrar, Professor Steward Mothata. The High Court issued an order prohibiting Mothata from attacking, harassing, or undermining the university, its leaders, or governance. This decision comes after years of tension, which escalated publicly in 2022 when Mothata accused top officials, including Vice-Chancellor Puleng LenkaBula, of interfering in his work and fabricating sexual harassment claims to oust him. Unisa, preferring to handle staff issues internally, sought legal protection due to Mothatas ongoing harmful comments. Despite proper notice, Mothata did not attend the hearing, and the judge granted Unisas full interdict without his input. This ruling underscores the seriousness of threats to institutions and Unisas commitment to defending its integrity through legal means.
