# The Minister of Higher Education and Training, Nobuhle Nkabane, has withdrawn the recent appointments of chairpersons to Sector Education and Training Authorities boards. This follows a public outcry over the inclusion of individuals linked to the ANC, including minister Gwede Mantashe’s son, Buyambo, and former KwaZulu-Natal premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube. Minister Nkabane says she has taken this decision in the interest of good governance and transparency to ensure accountability in the appointment process. She adds that a new independent panel will be established to process nominations and recommend candidates.
