Ramaphosa awaiting Nkabane report on parliamentary conduct
President Cyril Ramaphosa is yet to receive a report from Higher Education and Training Minister Nobuhle Nkabane on her conduct during a recent parliamentary appearance.
Nkabane, an ANC MP, appeared before the Portfolio Committee on Higher Education to explain the appointment of board chairs at the Sector Education and Training Authorities (SETA).
The minister was forced to withdraw the appointments following public concerns about the selection process.
Committee members were unhappy with Nkabane's response during the meeting after she refused to disclose the names of advisors who assisted her during the appointment.
Those initially appointed included the son of cabinet minister Gwede Mantashe, as well as former KwaZulu-Natal premier Nomusa Dube-Ncube, and ANC Johannesburg leader Loyiso Masuku.
Ramaphosa subsequently asked for a report from the minister.
Speaking at Sefako Makgatho Primary School in Pretoria on Tuesday, Ramaphosa said he has already sent a letter to Nkabane requesting the report.
“She is meant to give a report. She has received a clear letter from me, so that is still underway. And when it happens, we will be able to communicate that, and what it is we need to do moving forward,” said Ramaphosa.
