Johannesburg - One of South Africa's
leading seats of learning, the University of the Witwatersrand
(Wits), is dropping KPMG as its auditor after a
scandal about the firm's work for businessman friends of
President Jacob Zuma, it said on Wednesday.
"It was agreed that KPMG had not been sufficiently
transparent and that it is hard to reconcile KPMG's conclusion
that no one did anything illegal when senior individuals have
been dismissed," Vice-Chancellor Adam Habib said in a statement.
