A final year University of Fort Hare student, who sought urgent relief in court over a decision to fail him after he submitted his final practical assessments late, has been granted reprieve.
Mbali Silimela, who was a Bachelor of Education student in 2022, brought an urgent application against the university after the institution overturned an earlier decision by the faculty of education which would have seen him pass a module by 57%.
To pass the course, Silimela was required to submit history method videos on September 2 and his admin portfolio for the practical training on October 13. He did not provide the court reasons for failing to make the deadline. The court found that the senate’s failure to have endorsed Silimela's corrected mark was taken without good reason.
“This appears to be its reason why it is 'game over' for the applicant who must in its view instead either re-enrol for the module [which it has said in no uncertain terms is being phased out] or that he must seek a re-assessment.”
