"We are going to appoint an independent panel that will deal in detail with the allegations of racism. The issue of financial irregularity, I think, will be easy to disperse, but to deal with the issues of racism, we need an independent panel that will go deeper into those issues.
"We requested the SGB to say anyone one if you who has experienced such problems must come forward to the panel and tell the story. And we are going to act without fear or favour based on these recommendations."
Mshengu says the panel should be appointed by Friday.
