The University of Cape Town has appointed Professor Daya Reddy has as interim vice-chancellor.
This follows the disputable departure of Professor Mamokgethi
Phakeng earlier this month.
Reddy takes over the reins amid student protests at UCT
over historical debt.
According to the UCT spokesperson, Elijah Moholola, Reddy
would officially take up the role from Wednesday until a new vice-chancellor was appointed.
Moholola said Professor Reddy has also served in various
management and leadership positions at UCT.
“He also served on three occasions as acting deputy
vice-chancellor, over these periods covering collectively a wide range of
portfolios. Furthermore, he served three terms on Council as a member elected
by the Senate" added the UCT spokesperson, Elijah Moholola.
