TimesLIVE reports that Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Karabo Khakhau has accused Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) Minister Buti Manamela of filling the new sector education and training authority (Seta) boards with ANC loyalists.
Manamela only released the names of the new board members on Tuesday, 28 days after their appointment. The information came shortly after Khakhau had written to the minister, calling on him to make the appointments public. According to Khakhau, the delay in publishing the names raised questions about transparency. “This publication came 28 days after their appointment, a month wherein Manamela concealed the names for no apparent reason at the time,” she noted.
Khakhau alleged that the reason for the delay was now clear. She said: “The boards have been stacked with ANC cadres again. The Setas are more than R20bn in annual investment from the government, and we cannot allow them to continue being ANC sweet shops. Khakhau indicated that the DA would continue to probe this matter and would announce further action soon.
