Cape Town - Stellenbosch University says that the Western Cape High Court did not make any judgment or findings that the university broke the law by trying to keep information of critical public importance secret relating to the appointment of the chancellor Edwin Cameron, as claimed by the DA’s constituency head in Stellenbosch, Leon Schreiber.
This comes after a court application followed by a Promotion of Access to Information Act request from Schreiber to make available information about Judge Burton Fourie’s investigation into the allegations that De Villiers irregularly interfered in the case between the university and Gelyke Kanse, regarding its 2016 language policy.
He said the court order, which was handed down by Judge Robert Henney last Thursday, confirmed that SU’s refusal to comply with a request under the PAIA was “unlawful and in violation of the provisions of PAIA". However, Viljoen said there were no convictions or violation of the law. The PAIA legislation does provide for criminal offences , it was not an offence to refuse a record in good faith, even if it was later found that the reasons for the refusal were unjustified or incorrect.
