Dear Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Higher Education and Training, Hon Tebogo Letsie.

On 18 March 2026, Parliament asked South African universities to submit full lists of foreigners employed as academic staff due to concerns raised about hiring practices.
As of today, 8 June 2026, it has been 82 days since that deadline.
Kindly provide an update on whether institutions complied with the directive, and if so, how many foreign academics were identified across universities.
Your response would be appreciated.
