# The Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Higher Education has called for an independent investigation into allegations of racial bias in marking at the University of Cape Town.

UCT says an internal probe is underway, but Committee Chair Tebogo Letsie insists on an independent forensic investigation for transparency and consequences for those found guilty.
