Lecturer faces legal action

Limkokwing University of Technology has threatened legal action against one of its senior lecturers O'brian Mkali, who revealed on television that the institution is to retrench about 30 percent of its staff.

He also claimed that there were serious issues of quality assurance.

Responding to the allegations, the institution's public relations manager, Mercy Bonnie Thebe said management has not issued any staff retrenchment letters but would not renew the contracts that expire on July 31. "As an institution we feel greatly aggrieved by the position taken by Mkali owing to the fact that the statement he issued has tarnished the image of the institution and has negative impact on the morale of our staff, current and prospective students, alumni, the industry partners as well as the public," Thebe said.
