- The University of Cape Town stopped using AI detection tools such as Turnitin's AI score from 1 October 2025.
- Stellenbosch University discontinued Turnitin's AI text detection at the end of 2025; the University of the Free State also dropped AI detection software.
- Wits never adopted AI detection tools, while Nelson Mandela University still names Turnitin's AI indicator in its guidance.

Best Turnitin humanizer option in South Africa
Search for a humanizer in South Africa and you'll find dozens of apps that promise to "bypass Turnitin". Since August 2025 Turnitin has run AI bypasser detection on English submissions, built to catch exactly that kind of tool. Our answer is different: real editors rewrite your flagged sentences by hand, keep your meaning and references, and proofread the result.
- Price: $5.99 per 200 words, charged in USD; your bank converts to rand.
- Delivery: within 12 to 24 hours.
- Proof: a fresh Turnitin AI report of the edited file comes with every order.
Similarity checking continues everywhere, so a full Turnitin check is still worth it even where AI scores were dropped.
