# The United Democratic Movement Youth Vanguard has welcomed president Cyril Ramaphosa’s dismissal of Nobuhle Nkabane as Higher Education minister. The group says her tenure lacked accountability and disrespected democratic processes, particularly in her failure to address SETA board appointments. They support the appointment of Buti Manamela, citing his experience and institutional knowledge. The movement urges Manamela to prioritise student funding and reforms, while pledging to continue advocating for an accountable and inclusive higher education system.
