Chairperson of Cape Peninsula University of Technology’s Council Mbulelo Bikwani, said Vice Chancellor Prins Nevhutalu is in the clear after students levelled a raft of allegations against him.

The claims, brought to light by students affiliated to the Fees Must Fall movement, include allegations of sexual harassment and corruption.

Bikwani said an independent legal team was appointed to probe the matter.

They said to the students if you’re making allegations against the Vice Chancellor, bring every piece of evidence you have and put it in front of the legal team.”

But he said they found no substance to back up several of the allegations.

Bikwani said the team found a lack of evidence to support most of the claims.
