i) NEHAWU Ms M Yamaphi: Chairperson, NEHAWU, led the presentation which highlighted the following key issues: . The union was extremely concerned that the Committee came at a very late stage to the university when the situation was critical. Since the appointment of the Administrator in October 2011, the situation in the university had deteriorated. . A huge gap existed between the Technical Task Team of the Administrator and the university stakeholders. A stakeholder's summit convened by the Administrator was held in East London for two days. It was meant to develop a roadmap for a turn-around strategy for the university. . The report of the Administrator on the stakeholder's summit identified key focus areas of which some of the Technical Task Team members did not have experience. NEHAWU wanted experienced people to be appointed to lead those areas since the current team of the Administrator was failing. . There was no improvement in student registration and unfortunately a student died during this period owing to student protests. . The human resource department was managed by a consultant who was not fully dedicated to the university. NEHAWU proposed for the dismissal of consultants in the Technical Task Team. . The human resource management policies were not implemented by the Technical Task Team. Certain students from Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) were appointed to senior management posts without having the necessary experience. . Inadequate implementation of supply chain management policies remained a serious concern. There were appointments of companies without following the proper tendering procedures. . There was a conflict of interest in the company (Fastrack) which was awarded a tender to turnaround financial systems of the university, since the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) owned it. . The consultants employed by the university were being paid large fees without completing their duties efficiently. The consultants did not transfer their skills to staff members so that they can be capacitated. Most of the consultants used the university credit card and they made duplication payments. . An amount of R460 000 was paid to a Pretoria company that designed the SRC constitution and some consultants had a vested interest in the company.
