University top brass could land in hot water over failure to reinstate doctoral student
Cape Times
|October 16, 2025
LIMPOPO University Vice Chancellor Professor Nehemia Mahlo Mokgalong and Registrar Kwena Masha have been ordered to take direct responsibility for ensuring that a doctoral student was reinstated and appoint external assessors for his thesis.
THE University of Limpopo and two of its senior officials were held in contempt of court for not admitting a student doing his doctorate and ignoring a court order issued more than a year ago in this regard. FILE
The Polokwane High Court voiced its dissatisfaction that a June 2024 order was simply ignored, leaving doctoral student Dickiel Kusainda out in the cold.
Acting Judge S du Plessis awarded a punitive costs order against the university and ordered that it had to immediately re-enrol Kusainda so that he could complete his doctorate.
