Author(s) : Nabeelah Shaikh

Notes :

As the University of KwaZulu-Natal medical school’s places for sale saga develops, more information has emerged regarding the alleged syndicate’s national links to other universities. The Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU) said this week that they were following up on the observations from the UKZN investigation, implicating certain individuals associated with SMU. SMU’s investigation follows the arrests in Durban of three individuals alleged to have been selling places to study medicine and other health science courses at UKZ for a fee of up to R500 000.
