    Journal of International Education Research – Second Quarter 2013 Volume 9, Number 2 Restructuring And Mergers Of The South African Post-Apartheid Tertiary System (1994-2011): A Critical Analysis Nelda Mouton, Ph.D., North-West University, South Africa G. P. Louw, Ph.D., North-West University, South Africa G. L. Strydom, Ph.D., North-West University, South Africa ABSTRACT Socio-economic and vocational needs of communities, governments and individuals change over the years and these discourses served as a compass for restructuring of higher institutions in South Africa from 1994. Before 1994, the claim to legitimacy for government policies in higher education rested on meeting primarily the interests of the white minority. From 1996 onwards, the newly established government considered education a major vehicle of societal transformation. The main objective had been to focus on reducing inequality and fostering internationalisation. Therefore, the rationale for the restructuring of South African universities included a shift from science systems to global science networks. Various challenges are associated with restructuring and include access, diversity, equity and equality. Thus, the restructuring and mergers between former technikons and traditional universities were probably the most difficult to achieve in terms of establishing a common academic platform, as transitional conditions also had to be taken into account and had a twin logic: It was not only the legacy of apartheid that had to be overcome but the incorporation of South Africa into the globalised world was equally important as globalisation transforms the economic, political, social and environmental dimensions of countries and their place in the world. Initially, the post-apartheid higher education transformation started with the founding policy document on higher education, the Report of the National Commission on Higher Education and this report laid the foundation for the 1997 Education White Paper 3 on Higher Education in which a transformed higher education system is described.

It main purpose was to two-fold. First to ensure that the historically white institutions served the educational, ideological,‘potitical, cultural, social and economic needs of white SouthAfrica. Second, toestablish institutions that would produce a pliant and subservient class of educated black people to service the fictional homelands of apartheid’s imagination. In this aim it failed miserably. The institutions became hotbeds of student resistance, which ultimately contributed to apartheid’s demise. However, the apartheid legacy continues to burden the higher education system, which not only remains fragmented on race lines, but has been unable to rise fully to meetthe challenges of reconstruction and development.

  • Lombaard Christian Spirituality, UNISA
    There is rebellion afoot, and revelry: the nascent reformation of intellectual integrity within south african universities1 Christo Lombaard Christian Spirituality, UNISA Abstract Across the world, the “university is infested by the managerialist cultures of strategic planning, staff appraisal and quality control” (Waters, 2000:xiii). The way in which the role of the Vice- Chancellor has in practice come to be defined, namely as a medium term managing director, is perhaps a prime example of this trend. This is the case too with many South African universities. Particularly at the bilingual universities (that is, the former Afrikaans language universities), academics have been managed into carrying an unduly large administrative and lecturing load, and as such are unhealthy for the academic integrity of the university. In this paper, this state of affairs is briefly described, and some signs are indicated which show a growing sense of resistance against these developments. The classic role of the academic remains the most valuable to the university and to society. Key words: the nature of the university; intellectual integrity; academic freedom in South Africa. 1. Acting in character Clearly, being in flux is, and always has been, one of the universal characteristics of the university (cf. e.g. the essays collected in Teather, 1999). Panta rei – everything moves – (Lategan, 1996:57) is natural and to be expected, because, in a sense, "(e)lke universiteit word deur 'n bepaalde samelewing tot stand gebring en in stand gehou"2 (Dreyer, 1982:18). Just as valid, though, is the converse: that universities shape their societies. It is for precisely this reason that, almost constant strains notwithstanding, societies continue to hold universities in high esteem: "Dat relevansie as 'n eis beklemtoon word, is in sekere mate juis aan die sukses van die universiteit toe te skryf"3 (Rossouw, 1993:35; cf.
