The university, in turn, added its attorneys were studying the judgment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The University of Fort Hare is committed to see all issues of maladministration and fraud in the institution being dealt with in order to root out corruption,&#8221; said the university&#8217;s spokesperson, JP Roodt.<\/p>\n<p>Welcoming the judgment, Mabuyane said his legal team was preparing court papers to deal with the second part of the application.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are also going to file new papers to review and set aside the so-called forensic report which the University of Fort Hare gave to the SIU as a basis to investigate me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added the university had victimised him when it deregistered him and commissioned an investigation which made findings against him without hearing his side of the story.<\/p>\n<p>Mabuyane accused Fort Hare vice-chancellor Professor Sakhela Buhlungu of having an axe to grind and for perpetually framing him.<\/p>\n<p>The SIU said it had studied the judgment and was happy that it did not interdict or suspend the Fort Hare University investigation in its entirety.<\/p>\n<p>SIU spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are also optimistic that we will present our case when Part B of this matter is heard. The SIU is further encouraged by paragraph 66 of the judgment which states that: &#8216;Where there is evidence that implicates unlawful conduct in so far as the master&#8217;s degree is concerned, there is nothing stopping the SIU from preparing a motivation as it did with the earlier proclamation and request the president to proclaim that the registration for [the] master&#8217;s degree, too, should be investigated.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kganyago added that the judgment had noted that there was no evidence of malice by the SIU.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The SIU will explore all legal options available to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
