The University of Limpopo, also known as UL has distanced itself from a young woman who is claiming to have obtained her pharmaceutical qualification from the institution.

Nthabiseng Ramokolo has been trending on social media platforms as a masters student at the institution.

Nthabiseng has been seen on socila media sites dressed in scrubs, a lab coat emblazoned with UL’s name and logo.

However, on October 11, the University of Limpopo released a statement denying the claims.

“After checking all records, the University would like to state that Nthabiseng Ramokolo is not a UL pharmacy graduate and that she was never a student of the University. Additionally, her claims on social media that she is a master's student at UL are false,” reads the statement.

The Executive Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences at UL, Professor Tebogo Mothiba, said: "The records of the University do not contain any information on Nthabiseng Ramokolo, and our faculty members, as well as current and former students, have confirmed that they have never met her before."


Mothiba said the use of UL, its name or logo, by anyone to misrepresent their academic qualifications is unlawful.
