Controversy
Shortly after being appointed to the position as vice-chancellor of UCT allegations questioning Phakeng's academic credentials emerged which were refuted as being part of a smear campaign against her.[20]
In 2018 Phakeng controversially congratulated a UCT student on social media who notably ended their undergraduate paper with the racially divisive slogan "One Settler, One Bullet."[21][22] Phakeng later stated she regretted the divisive incident, did not see the statement before making the congratulatory statement,[23] would never support calls for violence, and was instead trying to congratulate a student on a significant personal academic milestone.[24][25]
