Manamela meet with DUT to review governance probe progress
Minister of Higher Education Buti Manamela says he will soon meet with management at the Durban University of Technology to review progress following investigations into governance issues.
On Friday, labour authorities halted a R400 million construction project at the institution.
They requested more documentation from the project consultant amid reports they may have been operating without a valid permit.
The varsity says it has submitted the necessary documents and is waiting for feedback.
Manamela addressed the media in Durban on Tuesday.

Manamela said a meeting with DUT's council's been scheduled, focusing on ensuring clean governance in infrastructure and supply chain matters.
" I will be looking forward to a meeting with the council to get a briefing on progress as it relates to the implementation of some of the reports, investigations report on those issues. I must emphasise that most of the universities, the allegations against corruption have got absolutely nothing to do with learning and teaching.
"It's about infrastructure, building and supply chain management. And I think it's quite unfortunate that we have had all these reports that relates to bad governance and that's something that we will be looking at."
