Johannesburg – The University of Pretoria’s vice-chancellor and principal, Professor Tawana Kupe, has resigned six months before his term was due to end, sparking concern that there is a “direct purge” of black vice-chancellors at higher education institutions in South Africa.
Kupe’s resignation from UP, one of the country’s leading higher education institutions, follows the widely publicised conflicts and eventual resignation of UCT vice-chancellor Professor Mamokgethi Phakeng and ongoing issues at Unisa with its principal and vice-chancellor, Professor Puleng LenkaBula.
