NMMU ‘most transformed in SA’

Bay university rejects United Front claim that it is lagging

THE Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University has hit back at criticism by the United Front, saying it is South Africa’s most transformed tertiary institution with a majority of its students and top management black.

While the university admitted it did not have enough black lecturers, it said this was because many were often lured into better opportunities in the private sector.

This week the UF lashed out at what it said was a lack of transformation at universities.

NMMU, he said, behaved “like they are in Europe”.

UF interim national secretary Mazibuko Jara said the university had very few black lecturers and its course content did not promote African indigenous history.
