Accreditation is not a one-time event, but a continuous cycle of self-evaluation, peer review, and improvement. Schools that are accredited have to maintain their academic standards and undergo periodic reviews to ensure that they are still meeting the expectations of the accrediting agency.
in my experience as part of the accreditation team, I found out that accreditation is not a theocratic process, but a collaborative and transparent one. Accreditation is based on the principle of peer review, which means that schools are evaluated by experts and professionals from other schools that share similar missions and goals. Accrediting agencies also involve various stakeholders, such as students, faculty, staff, alumni, and employers, in the accreditation process. Accreditation decisions are made public and subject to appeal and review.
Therefore, it is difficult to say how often an accreditation theocratically deems a school unworthy, because that is not how accreditation works. Accreditation is a voluntary and cooperative process that aims to ensure and enhance the quality and integrity of education. Accreditation is not a guarantee of perfection, but a commitment to excellence.

The mix-up in this case comes from there being a higher education specialist in South Africa named Professor Ian Bunting, who has published extensively in the field over a number of decades.
