(a) What are the cost implications of terminating outsourcing in the case of each university (i) that has taken steps to do so and (ii) that intends to do so and (b) how will this be paid for in each case?

Reply:

The issue of outsourcing has not been finalised by universities that are affected by the call to terminate outsourcing of services. This issue is linked to institutions’ operational plans and budgets, and is the responsibility of individual institutions. Universities South Africa has informed the Department that they are considering a joint process. However, at this stage, each institution is working with its stakeholders to address the issue. Universities were requested to inform the Department on the progress made and challenges experienced with respect to this issue.
