The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) says it has made significant progress in its investigation into maladministration and academic fraud at the University of Fort Hare in the Eastern Cape.
The unit says its investigation is at an advanced stage, and a report will be released in September.
It says delays in its investigations have been marred by the unavailability of witnesses.
SIU Spokesperson Selby Makgotho adds, “The investigation is progressing well in key focus areas, and the completion date remains targeted for 30 September 2026. However, this timeline may be affected by various factors, including the availability of witnesses, access to evidence, and the scope and timeframe of the investigation. Some issues date back more than 20 years, adding to the complexity of the investigation and requiring thorough examination.”
