Newsflashes

Dear Colleagues

The Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) is pleased to announce the implementation of an Interim Fleet Management Policy, supported by a comprehensive set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). These measures aim to enhance efficiency, accountability, safety, and sustainability across all university transport operations.

This interim arrangement has been introduced under the Fast-track process provided for in the Policy Development Framework, to address urgent operational and compliance needs. It is important to note that this is a temporary measure, and a full policy development process, including broad stakeholder consultation, will be undertaken during the first and second quarters of 2026 to ensure alignment with governance standards and institutional requirements.

Purpose of This Communication

The purpose of this communication is to afford university stakeholders an opportunity to comment on the attached Interim Fleet Management Policy and SOPs. Comments will be open for five (5) working days from the date of this communication.

After this period, all comments will be consolidated and incorporated where appropriate, and the policy will then be submitted to the Vice-Chancellor for signature, as provided for under the Policy Development Framework.

Key Features of the Interim Policy & SOPs

Streamlined Vehicle Booking System: A more efficient and transparent process for requesting and allocating university vehicles for official use.

Enhanced Compliance & Accountability: Clear guidelines on driver responsibilities, vehicle use, documentation, and reporting.

Safety-Focused Procedures: Mandatory vehicle inspections, incident reporting protocols, and reinforced driver safety standards.

Cost-Effective Fleet Use: Measures to track fuel consumption, reduce misuse, and improve budget management.

Sustainability Commitment: Encouraging responsible use of vehicles and exploring greener fleet options as part of CPUT’s environmental sustainability goals.

Implementation

The Interim Fleet Management Policy and SOPs are effective immediately. All staff and designated drivers are required to familiarise themselves with the updated procedures, which are available on the CPUT intranet under the Policy Library.

Training and awareness sessions will be scheduled in the coming weeks to support a smooth transition.

CPUT’s Commitment

This interim policy represents an important step toward improving operational efficiencies and ensuring that university resources are used responsibly and sustainably. CPUT remains committed to upholding the highest standards of governance and service delivery and will engage in a full consultation process in 2026 to finalise a permanent policy.

Dear Staff and Students

Over recent years, a misunderstanding has developed around the term “holiday accommodation” during the December recess. This has unintentionally diverted attention from the university’s emphasis on Work Integrated Learning (WIL) - a critical academic requirement for most of our academic programmes.

The idea of “holiday accommodation” has given the impression that any student may remain in residence for a variety of reasons, not necessarily meeting the eligibility criteria for WIL credits.  Unfortunately, this is not sustainable. December is a critical period for residence maintenance, deep cleaning, and staff rest. We also encourage students to use this time to reconnect with their families and loved ones.

As a reminder, WIL is an academic process, not a general accommodation category. As we advance, all year-end accommodation requests will undergo careful review:

Undergraduate WIL students: Requests will be screened by Faculty Deans under the guidance of the DVC: Learning and Teaching. Only students who must complete WIL to achieve their qualification will be accommodated. While we encourage WIL to be completed during the academic year, we acknowledge that specific programmes, such as Nursing, may have unique scheduling needs. These programmes will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Postgraduate students: Supervisors and Faculty Deans, under the DVC: Research, Technology Innovation and Partnerships, will review applications for students who require campus-based laboratories, equipment, or specialised facilities.

To avoid confusion, we ask all staff and students to no longer use the term “holiday accommodation”. The university will only provide accommodation for approved WIL placements or postgraduate research activities that meet established criteria.

We recognise that adjusting terminology takes time, but consistent language helps ensure clarity and fairness. This updated approach will be communicated through various university channels throughout 2026.

Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued commitment to supporting a positive WIL experience for all our students.

Kind Regards
CPUT Management

Dear Colleagues

As members of the CPUT community, we all share the responsibility of ensuring that university vehicles are used safely and responsibly. In line with this, please note that the following will be strictly enforced:

• Personal Responsibility for Fines: Any traffic violations, including but not limited to speeding tickets, parking fines, driving under the influence of alcohol, incurred while operating a CPUT-owned vehicle, on university business, are the sole responsibility of the employee operating the vehicle at the time of the infraction.
• Deduction from Salary: CPUT will no longer be responsible for paying traffic fines incurred by employees operating university vehicles. Fines will be deducted from the employee's salary through the established payroll process. Let’s continue to uphold safe and responsible driving habits so that no deductions ever become necessary.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

CPUT Management

Dear Staff and Students

On 16 October 2025, Vice-Chancellor Professor Chris Nhlapo spoke to students at the Bellville campus to clarify the Memorandum of Demands (MoD) submitted on 15 October 2025. The following overview highlights the main points and clarifications offered by the Vice-Chancellor.

1. Executive Director (ED) of Finance Appointment

Professor Nhlapo clarified that the appointment and removal of the Executive Director (ED) of Finance is solely within the jurisdiction of the CPUT Council, and not the mandate of the University’s Management. He advised that student bodies have the right to formally communicate their concerns on this matter to the Council through the Council Secretary (the Institution Registrar) for the Council's consideration. This process guarantees that students’ views are officially submitted.

2. Proposed Finance Control Measures

Professor Nhlapo confirmed that the proposal for the finance control measures was withdrawn. This proposal was initially intended for discussion at the Finance Committee meeting scheduled for 17 October 2025, but has now been removed from the agenda. Prof Nhlapo encouraged students to contribute innovative ideas to sustain CPUT's commitment to providing quality higher education and resources to all students, particularly those with limited financial means.

3. Fee Increase Prohibition During Current VC Term

Professor Nhlapo clarified that the authority to determine and approve student fees rests within the purview of the CPUT Council and is further guided by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET), as outlined in section 34.5.3 of the CPUT Statute. Please see the attached link: https://www.cput.ac.za/about-cput/statute

In conclusion, Vice-Chancellor Nhlapo reaffirmed CPUT Management’s unwavering commitment to ensuring consistent and transparent engagement with all students on all matters of mutual concern.

Dear Staff and Students

Yesterday Executive Management (EM) received a Memorandum of Demands (MoD) from the Central Student Representative Council (CSRC) regarding proposed changes to the institutional financial model and related issues. Management appreciated this engagement and took the concerns raised seriously.

Please find Management’s response to the MOD below.

Executive Management Appointments
Mr Daca, the Executive Director: Finance, similar to all other Executive Members, is appointed by Council in accordance with the Higher Education Act of 1997 and the CPUT Statute.

The Proposed Fee Structures
The proposal discussed during the Management Committee (Mancom) and Student Representative Council (SRC) meeting on 8 October 2025 regarding the financial model was withdrawn from the FINCOM meeting agenda scheduled for 17 October 2025. This was merely a proposal, and neither Management nor the Council made any decision in this regard. A comprehensive and inclusive consultative process has yet to begin, allowing Management and students to find an agreeable and sustainable solution to the concerns raised.

Increase in Annual Tuition and Residence Fees
Council is currently awaiting guidance from the Minister of Higher Education on tuition and residence fees. Changes to fees are within the Council's responsibility, and this information is usually received towards the end of the year.

Clarification on Bridging Finance Application
This matter is entirely separate from student fees and does not impact student financial obligations. Securing bridging finance is a responsible cashflow management strategy that ensures operational continuity. It is not linked to changes in student costs.

Conclusion

CPUT Management, on behalf of all staff, extends its sincere best wishes to all students as they prepare for the upcoming year-end examinations. We recognise the dedication and hard work you have invested throughout the year, and we are confident in your success. We also look forward to continuing our open and productive engagements with our students on matters of importance to the CPUT community.

Above all, we remain dedicated to stabilising our cherished institution and fostering an environment that prioritises the education and training of our students – our core mission and the foundation of our future.

Kind Regards
CPUT Management

Dear Colleagues

Yesterday Executive Management (EM) received a Memorandum of Demands (MoD) from the Central Student Representative Council (CSRC) regarding proposed changes to the institutional financial model and related issues.

The MoD centred primarily on the proposed fee structure and the potential increase of annual tuition and residence fees. Council is currently awaiting guidance from the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) on the matter of tuition and residence fees, universities typically receive this information towards the end of the year. Neither Mancom nor Council has approved any proposals in this regard.

Management has formally responded to the CSRC's MoD, emphasising our commitment to continued dialogue and engagement with the students on these matters.

We will continue to give you timely updates as this process unfolds. Your understanding and support are greatly appreciated as we work towards a sustainable solution that benefits the entire CPUT community.

Kind Regards
CPUT Management

Dear Staff and Students

We understand that there has been a call for a mass student meeting to discuss potential adjustments to university fees. We would like to address these concerns directly and give you some clarity on the current situation.

A Task Team was created, comprising Management and CSRC, to start with open and productive discussions on the matter. These discussions will be part of an ongoing process until we reach an agreement. It is important to emphasise that neither Management nor Council has made any final decisions regarding changes to the financial model.

The Task Team discussions will be subjected to a comprehensive and inclusive consultative process as we value student input and recognise the importance of transparency in matters that affect their financial well-being.

CPUT Management has a long-standing commitment to supporting academically deserving students, especially those who are indigent or in financial need. Our top priority remains ensuring that academically deserving students are not negatively impacted and have access to the resources they need to succeed.

We would also encourage all staff and students to rely on official university communications for accurate information.

Kind Regards
CPUT Management

Dear Staff and Students

Our Summer Graduation will take place on 11 December 2025, and the Marketing and Communication Department is looking for exceptional student success stories.

These may include stories of students who have overcome great odds to succeed, students who have achieved outstanding academic results or other inspirational stories. Stories like parents graduating with their children or siblings or couples graduating together are also worth sharing.

These stories may be shared with local media and could help potential employers to spot our graduates. Lecturers and supervisors are also asked to nominate special students. Write a synopsis of your story or nomination and email it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and it may be selected for publication. Please also include your contact details, time of your ceremony and your academic department.

All emails should reach us by 1 December 2025.

We look forward to receiving your stories.

Kind Regards
Marketing and Communication Department

Dear Staff and Students

A range of old clips and voice messages are circulating within the CPUT community creating unnecessary anxiety. These clips of protest action are often more than ten years old and in no way reflect the actual situation on campus.

During times of crisis it is critical that we know which information sources to trust. The university communicates with you via a newsflash message to your staff or student email, on our official social media channels or by sending you a SMS. You can spot old and fake information because it is usually shared on Whatsapp and the message will say “forwarded many times”

You can do your bit to protect CPUT’s brand and reputation by refraining from forwarding these messages.

Kind Regards
Marketing and Communication Department

Dear Colleagues

Dear Staff and Students

The Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) confirms that it has concluded an assessment into various allegations submitted via email on 28 May 2025.

To ensure independence and fairness, the process was conducted by external advisors with expertise in governance and compliance.

Following a comprehensive review of the information provided, the University Council has adopted the reports prepared which have determined that a number of the allegations are unfounded and not supported by evidence.

As a result, no further action is warranted, and the matter is regarded as closed in respect of those matters.

The assessment identified three matters where action is required by the University and the recommendations in that regard will be implemented.

CPUT remains firmly committed to the highest standards of integrity, accountability and transparency. The University will continue to strive to ensure that good governance is upheld.

Kind Regards
Office of the Registrar

Dear Students

We are little over a month away from the blockbuster Summer Graduation which will see roughly 555 students cross the stage and graduate in one day. CPUT graduation ceremonies have won awards in the higher education sector for how exemplary, creative and innovative they are. Whether it is your chance this year, or in the coming few years, we know that it will be an unforgettable experience.

CPUT will also end the year on a special note as we install our third Chancellor, Prof Brian Figaji in December. While a university Chancellor is largely a ceremonial role, Prof Figaji’s knowledge of the administrative and academic responsibilities of the university will enrich his oversight role and we look forward to officially welcoming him on board soon.

As you can see there is much to look forward to, and ending this year on a high note is the focus of all departments, faculties and units at CPUT.

Kind Regards
Vice-Chancellor
Prof Chris Nhlapo
