Higher education and training minister Nobuhle Nkabane is accused of lying to parliament about the “independent panel” she claimed had approved politically connected individuals for Seta board. In the list of panel members, Nkabane falsely claimed legal expert advocate Terry Motau was part of it. She later apologised, saying it was a misunderstanding. ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula insists that Higher Education Minister Dr Nobuhle Nkabane did not lie and acted within her rights when appointing members to SETA boards. Mbalula was reacting to the Democratic Alliance's (DA) bringing criminal charges against Nkabane. In dismissing the action he labelled it “opportunistic,” and insisted that she acted within her legal rights.
