Five University of KwaZulu-Natal executives‚ who were suspended on Monday‚ are seeking legal advice.
Letters of suspension were handed to deputy vice-chancellors John Mubangizi‚ Renuka Vithal‚ Deogratius Jaganyi‚ Cheryl Potgieter‚ and director of corporate communications‚ Lesiba Seshoka.
The five had accused the university's vice-chancellor Professor Albert van Jaarsveld of incompetence and racism in 2015.
Following an inquiry into the allegations‚ a report was sent to the university’s council and one of the recommendations was to suspend the five executives.
Last Monday some staff threatened to embark on industrial action‚ demanding council carry out the recommendation of suspending the five.
