The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria ordered Minister Blade Nzimande to rescind his directives to place Unisa under administration, a decision that violated an earlier court ruling.In a week in which revelations emerged of the government paying R269.7 million to"ghost students" monthly, Higher Education, Science and Innovation Minister Blade Nzimande blatantly ignored court orders on placing Unisa under administration.
