# Higher Education and Training minister, Buti Manamela, has formally appointed new accounting authorities across all 21 Sector Education and Training Authorities. The appointments follow a high-profile controversy earlier this year that saw former minister Nobuhle Nkabane withdraw a slate of politically linked Seta board chairpersons, after intense public and parliamentary backlash. Manamela says these appointments signal a new governance cycle intended to restore institutional integrity and align the skills development system with national economic priorities.
