University of South Africa (UNISA) has categorically rejected claims made by Walter Magaya, a clergyman and businessman, that he graduated and received an honorary doctorate from the institution. Unisa’s statement expressed concern over the spread of false claims, which have gained significant attention on social media through a video of Magaya alleging his affiliation with the university.
Unisa’s media affairs office conducted a thorough search of their records and found no evidence to support Magaya’s claims. “We couldn’t find any record showing that Mr. Magaya was ever registered or graduated with Unisa,” the statement reads. “Any certificate he may present claiming to be from Unisa is fraudulent.”
The university also denied Magaya’s claim of receiving an honorary doctorate, stating, “Unisa has never conferred any honorary doctorate upon Mr. Magaya. We strongly condemn this false assertion.” Unisa emphasized that it would take necessary legal steps to address the situation, as such misinformation could damage its reputation.
Relevant authorities have been instructed to initiate legal proceedings against those spreading false claims about Unisa’s affiliation with Magaya. This move aims to protect Unisa’s brand and maintain its integrity.
