UKZN sets record straight on controversial ‘Prof Mary De Haas
Cape Times
|November 20, 2025
UNIVERSITY — of KwaZulu-Natal’s (UKZN) association with Mary De Haas is only limited to the position of Honorary Research Fellow in the school of law, and not a professor.
De Hass, identified as researcher and crime activist, appeared before Parliament on Tuesday where MPs lamented her disappointing testimony which they said largely relied on hearsay. During her appearance before Parliament, De Haas provided the committee with the information she received from confidential sources but refused to divulge their names and identities.
She also declined to reveal the names even in a private session.
This resulted in her testimony being described as “disappointing, unreliable and hearsay” by several members of the committee, arguing that her refusal to disclose the names made her evidence impossible to verify.
