NMU research is a joke
It is evident that, at NMU, one professor can block the project of another professor, causing many people considerable hardship. So, folks, that's how we do research in South Africa. You are not allowed to compete with the professor. So I do not recommend approaching a university in South Africa to do research - it's all about ego and control.

NMU defaults regulalrly
This is hysterical: Rules that Nelson Mandela University Management imposes on students: 1. Submission of your treatise/dissertation/thesis for assessment Your attention is drawn to Rule G5.11.5 ... The final date for submission is... in order for you to graduate in December... If you submit after the final date... you accept that the assessment process may not be completed in time for graduation in December... Meanwhile, they themselves are not capable of meeting a standard payment deadline. What a joke.

NMU payment default
Nelson Mandela University has defaulted on payment of a substantial amount for 90 days now. Who takes 90 days to make payment? Clearly they have no understanding of business or management. The finance department is inefficient, arrogant and ***********. They are not fit to manage the finances of ANY organisation, let alone a university. Students cannot access their bursary/scholarship funds, lecturers cannot access their research grants etc. etc. It is hugely disturbing how what used to be a top Afrikaans university on the country has been trashed in the hands of these *****s.

NMU defaults on payment
Dear Hellopeter Nelson Mandela University has still defaulted on a a substantial payment for books published and invoiced over two months ago. I daresay ANC cadres are *****ing money from the universities as well. The education system in South Africa, like so much else, has collapsed. Over the last 30 years, the likes of ANC and EFF have proven over and over that they are totally unfit to govern. When are the honest, decent people of South Africa going to rise up in revolt?

NMU defaults on payment again
Yet again the finance department at NMU has defaulted on a payment for publishing books invoiced more than two months ago. Clearly they have no understanding of business practice or efficient management.

Would you recommend Nelson Mandela University?
In responding to whether I would recommend Nelson Mandela University - Academically, yes. I know and work with several excellent professors who are affiliated to the university and who, for the record, are equally frustrated and dissatisfied with the tardiness of the university administration.

Non-payment
The financial manageress at Nelson Mandela University regularly delays payment with no explanation. I submitted an invoice for proofreading a student's PhD Thesis on 5 March, which is still outstanding. The work is ready but I am withholding it until the financial manageress makes full payment. She make doing business with the university not viable.

CitiQ still in chaos
Just tried to purchase prepaid electricity. Said there was a process error - but they took money though. Par for the course in this disaster of a country.

Eskom in complete chaos
The last three times I ordered prepaid electricity for R200, I received three different unit amounts. The first was 60 units, the second was 48 units and the today was 38 units. Clearly is ESKOM is in utter chaos and I challenge private sector to call in a reputable organisation, such as ContourGlobal, to replace them.
