The management’s decision to exonerate a white student, whose name is known to City Press, has sparked claims that the university’s medical school was targeting black students.
In 2015, 24 students faced a similar investigation after they were accused of misrepresenting their marks.Last year, the six allegedly awarded themselves marks throughout the year for performing certain tasks at Gauteng hospitals.The alleged misconduct was only picked up late last year, ahead of their graduations, a situation which the lawyer of Jimmy Shembe*, one of the affected students, raised as a concern.
Wits University failed to allocate a supervisor to monitor the students when they performed their tasks to ensure that they did not falsify their assignment marks. This allegedly led to the trainee doctors at hospitals doing this and approving their portfolio marks in their e-log books; That a staffer indicated during a pre-disciplinary hearing meeting late last year that, in exchange for students pleading guilty, normally they undergo an online ethics course and have their expulsion suspended, a condition which Shembe saw as blackmail for the students to admit to wrongdoing.Wits University spokesperson Buhle Zuma denied all the allegations made against the university, saying the institution reserved its right to respond to these claims at an appropriate time.
So strange, as soon as they are caught out, then it's racism. Just shows how they perfected the blame game for their mistakes. It's always someone elses fault.

What ever happened to the days where each individual was accessed by their results and not the colour of their skin! Why is it that there are different entrance level criterea for each individual race group required by Medical Faculties?
Who would go to these so called doctors if they ever qualify
... just because...
Superior logic running wild through this lot.
Oh my word... blacks.... more and more I don't like them.
These saffaring people will always have a problem.

PHD in Entitlement going cheap at Wits. Any takers ?
And that's why my doctors all graduated before 1994.
'It is highly inappropriate for individuals to make racialised allegations without evidence. This feeds polarisation and a racialised agenda which appears to be aimed at avoiding accountability. This culture must not be allowed by the media because it destroys institutions.'
So the lawyer say its the Universities fault the student cheated?
There are white medical students at WitsUniversity ? 🤔
Arme ou Jan!!!altyd in die akkies
Always looking for racism
Well, did they falsify their portfolio marks or not? Did the white student falsify his/her portfolio marks, or not? It’s not difficult.
