The black academic community of the University of Cape Town have gone to court over the appointment of Prof Lis Lange as Deputy Vice Chancellor.

At the head of the action is Prof. Elewani Ramugondo of the faculty of health services who has been “overlooked” for this appointment.

The university management noted the court application but stated that Lange’s appointment was the correct decision.

Lange is a white Argentinian who was offered the post instead of a black candidate, according to Ramugondo.
