Mangosuthu University of Technology MUT in KwaZulu-Natal has been accused of sitting on a report of a sex-for-marks scandal it started investigating last year after students complained about lecturers who were soliciting sexual favours from them.
One of the implicated lecturers has since resigned without answering to the allegations.
According to the whistleblower, an employee in the health services department who reported the complaints to the institution, most of the targeted victims were those who struggled with complex subjects such as maths and physics.
