Dr Nthabi Taole-Mjimba is acting in his position.
Some students have welcomed Buhlungu’s suspension.
“It has been long overdue. We are quite happy as the students of Fort Hare that finally the council has taken a decision to suspend the Vice-Chancellor of the University. The Vice-Chancellor has been undermining student activism at the university and suppressing student activism and student leaders at large.”
