The University of Cape Town (UCT) Chair of Council, Norman Arendse (SC), has received the report from the independent panel of investigation into matters about governance at UCT.
The report was issued and considered by the Council at its meeting on Saturday, 14 October 2023. This follows the Council’s decision in October 2022 to establish an independent panel, whose work commenced in January 2023.
Council extends its appreciation to the panel for the detailed and important work it has done and is confident that the report is a crucial step in assisting the Council to strengthen the university’s governance. The content of the report and recommendations are now under consideration by the Council and will be discussed at a further meeting scheduled shortly.
“Until the content and recommendations of the report have been fully considered, Council has resolved that the report will remain confidential. It is recognised that many of the university’s stakeholders expect to be more fully informed, and Council therefore undertakes to take the necessary steps to provide further details as soon as appropriate,” said Arendse.
