16/03/2021

As the country prepares for Phase 2 of the national COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout Plan, the Eastern Cape Department of Health (EC DoH) wishes to urgently gather key information of all Nelson Mandela University staff and students for planning purposes.

All Department of Higher Education and Training staff and students have been classified as being part of the essential and congregant groups under Phase 2 of the rollout plan, scheduled from late April or early May.

The University has the relevant information, but in terms of the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), all staff and students have the right to object to the sharing of such information – your ID number, contact cellphone number, job title and your physical address.

If you do not wish for Mandela University to share this information with DHET please contact hr@mandela.ac.za by 5pm tomorrow (Wednesday, 17 March).
