SMU was established when the Minister of Higher Education and Training, Dr Blade Nzimande in terms of section 20 of the
Higher Education Act 1997 (Act 101 of 1997) promulgated the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU) in the
SA Government Gazette no: 37658 of 16 May 2014.

The minister’s intention was based on the findings and recommendations of the task team that was established and led by Prof Malegapuru Makgoba, former Vice-Chancellor of University of Kwa-Zulu Natal (UKZN) and Dr Max Price, the Vice-Chancellor of University of Cape Town (UCT).
