    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not even just the student bodies. Most universities, again, will have personnel in certain departments only coming from one region and we ask whether this is by accident that certain departments are dominated by individuals from one community or from a certain region and this is happening in our universities. So it is a big problem! It is not one issue that we can point out and say that, that is the problem but we have seen that degeneration. You also see promotions in universities not following merit. You see a lecturer is hired today, he is told that he has to start as an assistant lecturer because he is new and starting and the rules say that he should start there. Somebody also new comes and he is hired after you have worked for three years and he goes straight to becoming a full lecturer. He does not have more experience or training than you but because he comes from the correct community, that is controlling the university, obvious he goes and this continues creating discontent within the teaching staff. It keeps lowering standards in the university because unqualified people are manning departments and are even teaching; some even with dubious degrees are still finding their way into the teaching places. Our universities are decaying!"
