Professor Makgoba succeeded Professor Brenda Gourley as Vice-Chancellor.

Professor Makgoba served two 5 year terms of office and retired in 2015. His tenure, however, was plagued with controversies. Makgoba is said to have created a ‘culture of hostility at the university that resulted in an exodus of world-class academics. He was succeeded by Dr Albert van Jaarsveld.
