President Rampahosa fires Higher Education minister Nkabane over SETA scandal

# President Cyril Ramaphosa has fired minister of Higher Education and Training, Nobuhle Nkabane. Her axing comes after months of controversy over the appointment of Sector Education and Training Authority board chairpersons. In June, Nkabane told Parliament her appointment of the 21 Seta chairpersons was guided by an advisory group that included advocate Terry Motau. However, Motau and three others have denied being involved in the process. President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed Buti Manamela as the new minister and Nomusa Dube-Ncube as deputy minister.
