that a school classmate of the relative complained that she did not get in, even though she had higher marks.
In a brief statement, the executive committee of the university's council said it knew about the complaint that De Villiers"exercised his discretion under Stellenbosch University's Admissions Policy to offer a relative of his wife a place in the MBChB programme for 2023".This was in terms of the rector's discretionary placements, which was allowed under the admissions policy.
_qutnosity Under fire=being rigorously criticized. Your choice of words is interesting news24. But you'd have us believe it's all innocent and there's nothing insidious to it right?
Why don't you call it what you would have called, corruption, if it had happened at UCT when Prof Mamokgethi Phakeng led the institution. Why the selective/racist morality?
Ezve. Ko munhu haangakwanisi kuva nekodzero shoma hayo yekubatsira waafunga, kunyange hama yake here?
Unfortunately we don't select the best and the brightest, compel universities to select on merit base and the problem goes away.
It's not corruption cos he is white
Error of judgment they say. Huh. Stellies is not De Villiers en Seuns. Nepotism is not allowed. It is corruption. That's all.
What's wrong with having an extra medical student 🤷🏿♂️
Irony is the anc and eff does it all the time now a white man does it...you all up in arms...
So what. Does the ANC not employ cadres all over 🤷🤷🤷🥱🥱🥱
Ashole
So its discretionary powers when a white elite does it😂
Wim de Villiers has been making poor decisions since his appointment.
So this does not happen in any other department on South Africa?
Imagine if he was black, he will be so famous even my 5 year old will know his name….But he doesn’t fit the profile so my little one will never know him.
MYANC has been doing this with tenders for decades. Next.
White excellence.🚮
You mean committing a crime of fraud
This is fine, as long as he did not dance afterwards....huh Adriaan?
Sibonga isithombe
Corruption
They blame ANC for corruption.
I like the selection of vocabulary there by newsroom.
Is that how we spell Corruption 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Afriforum is already gunning to get him fired. Seems his time is up
Fire him
People have been doing this for years moss
Call HIM corrupt like you would have done if he was black!!
Discretionary powers ...must be nice🤦♀️🙄
Families look after another....even politicians are doing it everyday 😩.
Imagine if EFF and black people focused on the issues of inequality and preference instead of fighting something we cannot win... White corruption is much much more worse than black corruption. We should be using 'Black Twitter' for such individuals instead of bashing each other
“Fraud” “Corruption” “Maladministration” “Nepotism” are some of the Nouns you could have used to bring colour to your article!
'rector under fire for Nepotism and Corruption' Now that's a better Headline 🙂
white privilege...
Nepotism, that's the word you are looking for.
they even cover when criminal things are done , this a tip of iceberg
It's crazy how Europeans define the word corruption 🤔
Simple: He is part of the corrupt cabal...
Atleast he did it for free To join Metro their captains ask for R6000 bribe To join SAPS they ask for R3500 SA is a corrupt state its not what you know but who you know And everyone knows this . Look at ANC Politicians committing fraud on daily basis
If it was FabAcademic the heading would be worded differently. AdriaanBasson come this side and see how useless and biased you are
and they want us to believe that only black people are corrupt
I know why Prof De Villiers is being hounded by the media - it's that language policy issue, where lecturing was to be done in English and no longer in afrikaans. Isn't it?
AdriaanBasson people asking important questions since you had a lot to say about a dancing chancellor any thoughts about this yt nepotised chancellor?
Why him?this has been happening since it’s establishment
This is how SouthAfrica works. Not on merit
FOR GS, is it a mental condition one develops or is there just something wrong with South Africans and our make up? Or maybe humans in general and we can't shake it off no matter how intelligent and ethical we seem.
Shame, to replace wim will be very hard, its gna be hard for stellies to find somebody who hates afrikaans and the people who speak it as much as this guy. Better get those guys who endorced him to start looking, might take a while
Bad
ThuliMadonsela3 Says the only sin here is that he got caught, otherwise there's nothing wrong with nepotism.
It's a white people's culture
Carefully worded, huh🤔 No need to compare, but...
You opted to use the word discretionary knowing very well that Corruption is the obvious word you would have used if it was someone else , especially a Black person as you call them. Corruption is corruption. Don’t marinate it.
We are not shocked. We work with SU graduates and some are really shockingly mediocre
Corruption is the word you're trying so hard to avoid using
Why in this country everything has to be white against black and vice versa…the atmosphere is so toxic can’t we be colour blind for once and take the race out of the issue..
F. your editor who allows white people to be sugar coated as saints and allow black people to be associated with the word corruption. I hope they burn.
Uthini yena uBhasoni?
happens in most varsities, SRC makes em pay at all times
Helping his 30 percenter relative get the nepotism leg-up. Shameful.
Corruption...Corruption... C.O.R.U.P.T.I.O.N.. it's called C.O.R.U.P.T.I.O.N News24, yes that name applies to whites too.
One day, mob justice will elaborate 😏
Hands off uVC wethu pls
he is under fire for nepotism and abuse of authority to benefits his family which bluntly is tantamount to corruption
pmcafrica “Discretionary”?
Wait, ya'll worried over such a small thing, which white people did he piss off to be exposed? He must've pissed of the wrong white person to be exposed as such. White people protect one another, they don't do this. This is black folk territory.
What is his fashion sense? Isn't it that is how we must judge people according to racist Basson?
Corrupt
And when it's Africans, the language is carefully crafted to be negative, to stereotype, to insult even.
Nepotism
Apartheid habits die hard!
Hau. Mara we need to make connections moes. That's what they are for. 🤲🏿 It's not the first time this happens in South Ahhh 🤷🏾♂️💁🏾♂️
Corruption has no colour
Nepotism
Check out how this article is written for a white and European corrupt VC. Check the working, the respect, the undermining and demeaning the crime. All to respect whiteness. Apartheid leftovers ba re tlwaela nnyooo straight.
Wim de Villiers, you’re fired. By us.
He should have been put on precautionary suspension pending investigation into the matter. Bypassing due processes using your status and powers to accommodate someone who was not supposed to be there constitutes a crime.
Beautiful
Mafia town
Wim, how are you going to get out of this one? 🤣
Ke yona white privileges?
If you went to varsity you know this is not a big deal, every student must be given a chance to prove themselves in the class room. We used to argue this about black students who got financially excluded.
Oh so nepotism is a probably when whites do it…? Hmmm, I see.
And we get told everyday that it is BEE and “lower standards for black ppl” that is keeping people out of medicine….
Corruption is everywhere
TheGreatLerato 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Reasonable apprehension of bias. He should’ve recused himself!!!!
Yho, imagine if it was Prof Mmamokgethi. She would be attacked by every news outlet.
Leon_Schreib And Wim hates Afrikaans too. WimOut
He did what most were going to do.
What’s new🤷♂️
White people generally do this quite a lot especially in the work place.
So what's his discretionary powers to be used for
Mekmele enze njani enolayini? Angamfaki ?
Interesting developments
Imagine if his name was Prof Mamokgethi Phakeng. The sky would’ve fallen by now.
1.Conflict of interest use the the RD means the person didn't qualify under ordinary circumstances Let's not make this complicated it's straightforward
🤔
Where is the white media. Dancing was a priority not corruption.
When are they holding a inquiry for this deputy white.
Nepotism not discretionary powers. Nepotism is corruption. Its illegal
Adriaan didn’t see this
AdriaanBasson What’s your take
They won’t purge him like Prof Phakeng
Feta ka mo AdriaanBasson
Let us deal with him as harshly as we can. Cadre deployment, corruption, cronyism and nepotism have no place in South Africa!!!
Sadly this story omits the subtext that includes: (1) The Rector’s Discretionary Placement (RDP) Powers; (2)That the complaining students had not applied for the RD; (3) That as soon as the concern was raised, the rector revoked the provisional placement; (4) A policy lacuna
DesireeChauke ms_tourist and GuardianBooks Kom kyk
I wonder if Mr Basson has any comments on this
Isn't this Madonsela University?
Imagine if it was FabAcademic I'm waiting for Daily Maverick
Where is AdriaanBasson ? He had a lot to say about the dancing of the previous vice-chancellor.
Well...
If it was prof phakeng the headlines would read differently, don’t think we can’t see you
Let's check the marks before we judge. We all know easy they made it for blacks to get into med school.
Corruption 😏
What’s new🤷🏽♂️
👀👀👀👀
It's a coordinated onslaught to get him out. And they will as always succeed!
Some VCs were pushed out for dancing 👀
Corruption, Nepotism and Racism really landed on our shores from them “1652s”
Imagine what Adriaan Basson would’ve written had it been a black VC, especially Mamokgethi Phakeng? We see you News24, we see you
White people never believe in studying hard and achieving qualifications, they are getting exposed day by day..
This is nothing we have plenty of white fake doctors
I'm sure the Bogus advocate ThuliMadonsela won't comment about this.
Unisa this unisa that..while stellenbosch gets a free pass
So the Afriforum & DA are now going after this guy 🤷🏾♂️
white privilege
They change black students degrees and give them degrees which they ddnt sign up for and after that they academically exclud them
AdriaanBasson Phakama Ixesha lefikile.
Sounds like 99% of myanc cadre deployments. Isn’t this the new South Africa way..? Dodgy, yes. Situation normal.
This is not news. It’s always been there then and now. It’s not about colour. All colours involved then and now.
If the relative qualifies what's the problem?
1 day we will hear the truth about all the fake qualifications from this prestige universities.
E_Thokozile South Africans : Uh, Wim? You can’t appoint relatives and friends ahead of qualifying candidates Wim: Why not ? SA: It’s against the rules. Wim: Since when? SA: 1994. We’re about meritocracy now Wim: Bloody hell. Is there anything that ‘94 didn’t take from my friends and me ?
Afriforum to the rescue
He learnt well from our government. Done everywhere, what's the big deal?! Nothing new to see here. Any other colour and you wouldn't even be reading about this.
I am a black student who was academically excluded and now I am being summon to court for outstanding fee,,,, the anxiety and depression that we face as black students....... I know so many students out there who are like me
The entire existence of Stellenbosch is a nepotism controversy.
Only losers see something wrong here, I would have done the exact same thing
SouthAfricaUniversities are deep in corruption, let them eat
Yirre
He could have withdrawn 'in principle' from the admission panel and cite his relationship with the applicant as the motive.
'under fire'.. 'accounting irregularities'.. Etc
Those paid Twitter users are not up in arms because it's not Unisa
If it was Mamokgethi the establishment will be calling for her head
Bamceba😂😂😂
Yuu haai!🤦🏻♂️🙆🏻♂️RSASIU DrBladeNzimande now, allegations of corruption at Stellenbosch University?🤔Maybe, it's time for deployment of intelligence police services in all SA universities.🤞🏿This is too much!😤
But they want to complain about bee and affirmative action 😭
It's their modus operandi everywhere
MogaleBK
Wow..I thought white people in SA stopped being corrupt.
😂😂😂. If this was that lady that wakes up at 3am and smile to the camera nkabe le DA e ntshitse statement nou.
👀
Skelmbos
But that university is predicated on racism and nepotism. What's new here
Who snitched 😂 I know his kind has been using loopholes to advance their people since for ever now 😂
If he is not Afrikaans speaking it is mos no problem?
Old thing 1948- 1993
Unisa this Unisa that 😅
'Discretionary power'
Discretionary Powers = CORRUPTION
I wonder how they would have reported it if the vice-chancellor was still black.
It's not the first relative, they've been doing it for friends & neighbours also
Fire him on the spot, the hypocrite!
The ANC corruption is rubbing off everywhere!
Weird.
Ah... The OGs of affirmative action. This happens in corporate SA on the daily.
Wowie Wow
WimdeVilliers sies, vark!
Nepotism good old Nats !
Wheeee! 😂
