2010-11-10

The Management of the University of the Free State (UFS) hereby confirms that Prof. Ezekiel Moraka, Vice-Rector: External Relations, has not been suspended, as was reported in some of the media since last night.

The UFS Management has communicated to Prof. Moraka its intention to suspend him, based on allegations of misconduct brought to the attention of Management. Prof. Moraka has requested five days to submit reasons why he should not be suspended. As a result, the UFS has granted this request and has placed Prof. Moraka on special leave in order for him to prepare his submission.

A final decision regarding the suspension will only be made once the UFS has considered Prof. Moraka's submission.

The UFS confirms that the due process of the law is adhered to in all labour processes.
