Parliament Demands Universities Submit Full Lists of Foreign Staff by March 18 Following Reports from Whistleblowers That Foreign Nationals Are Being Favored Over South Africans for Employment and Senior Positions.

Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Higher Education and Training, chaired by Tebogo Letsie, has demanded that South African higher learning institutions submit detailed lists of all foreign academics by March 18, 2026. This follows ongoing whistleblower reports and public claims that foreign nationals are being prioritised over qualified South Africans in hiring and promotions. Letsie addressed the matter today in a virtual interview on SABC News with journalist Clement Monyela.

The demand originated from a February 18, 2026, joint meeting with the Home Affairs Committee, where the Department of Higher Education and Training presented data showing foreign nationals comprise about 7.7% of university staff, often in critical skills areas such as mathematics. Whistleblowers reported exclusions of locals from jobs and promotions, with unaudited temporary staff numbers prompting the committee to extend the deadline for more accurate, audited submissions from universities and TVET colleges.

Letsie emphasised strict compliance with the Employment Services Act and Home Affairs regulations, stating foreign academics can only be hired if their skills are on the critical skills list and no suitable South African is available. He rejected non-compliant justifications like "bringing important value to the institution," calling them illegal. "We are a country of laws," Letsie said. "If you break the law in South Africa, you should face the music."

The controversy intensified with the recent incident at Wits University, where Indian-origin Professor Srila Roy resigned as head of sociology after backlash over a now-deleted social media post describing South Africans as having "little ambition, complacent and poor work ethic." Letsie described the remarks as offensive and urged the university to take decisive action. Institutions failing to meet the March 18 deadline risk consequence management or criminal referrals.
