ANC believes DA's criminal complaint against Nkabane part of its grievance over Whitfield's axing
On Tuesday, the DA laid a criminal complaint against Nkabane at the Cape Town Central Police Station.
Nkabane is alleged to have lied to the higher education portfolio committee about her questionable appointments to the Sector Education and Training Board (SETA) board.
Last week, President Cyril Ramaphosa dismissed Whitfield as a deputy minister for an overseas trip he did not obtain presidential approval for.
On the Mandy Weiner Show on Tuesday, ANC chief whip Mdumiseni Ntuli said that several meetings had been held to investigate Nkabane's conduct.
"And, obviously, in the course of those engagements, it became clear to me that the minister is going to run into major difficulties to justify the decision she has taken, given the composition of the members of the panel she appointed. So, I was quite clear that minister, what this presents is a major challenge to you when it is scrutinised by the portfolio committee on higher education and training."

DA to Ramaphosa: Fire Nkabane now — Parliament ‘won't tolerate corruption as governance'

Democratic Alliance MP, Jeanne Adriaanse, has renewed her party's call for President Cyril Ramaphosa to fire Higher Education Minister Dr Nobuhle Nkabane, accusing her of misleading the public and enabling corruption within her department. Speaking during the department's budget debate in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) on Tuesday, Adriaanse said that the DA has laid a criminal complaint against Nkabane, following revelations that members of the panel responsible for appointing Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA) board chairs had ties—past or present—to the department itself. 'The minister has lost all credibility,' said Adriaanse. 'She is not the right person to lead this portfolio. It's time for President Ramaphosa to fire Minister Nkabane and clean out the ANC's criminal network from the heart of government.' The DA has accused Nkabane of lying about the independence of the appointment process, describing her actions as a blatant disregard for parliamentary oversight. Adriaanse warned that the DA will not allow Parliament to be 'treated with contempt' and said the party will continue to expose what it views as corruption disguised as governance. She also criticised the department's dismal performance, citing a sharp decline in target achievement—from 78% in 2019–2020 to just 51.8%—under Nkabane's leadership. In her defence, Nkabane attributed much of the department's financial struggles to the withdrawal of US funding to tertiary institutions. Video Player is loading.

Despite these challenges, critics within the DA argue that financial pressure cannot justify compromised governance. "There is a reprieve as for the current Medium Term Expenditure Framework cycle, the department's budget has increased at an average annual rate of 4.4%, in nominal terms," she said. President Cyril Ramaphosa removed Andrew Whitfield, Deputy Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition and a DA member amid allegations of an unauthorised international trip. This triggered mixed emotions from the DA members. The DA also threatened to leave the Government of National Unity (GNU). Meanwhile, the ANC Youth League (ANCYL) has denounced the DA's decision to lay criminal charges against Nkabane, calling it a 'coordinated attack' with political motives. 'Let's not allow South African society to be misled by people who want to create a facade on matters with political interests,' said ANCYL secretary-general Mntuwoxolo Ngudle in an interview with the public broadcaster. 'This is a democratic country, governed by active legislation. Let's not allow a coordinated attack on a young female minister.' IOL Politics

How can government ensure AI is integrated into the education syllabus?
In the fast-paced digital age, artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into different fields to improve efficiency. The KwaZulu-Natal youth parliament has called for a complete overhaul of the 'outdated' school curriculum to better prepare pupils for future careers. While some schools have started incorporating AI into the syllabus, such as coding, others are left behind. More than 70 delegates representing the MK Party, IFP, ANC, DA, EFF and NFP condemned the syllabus as 'disconnected and obsolete'. They called for the urgent inclusion of AI and digital literacy, entrepreneurship, climate awareness, African history and mental health support, arguing a curriculum stuck in the past cannot prepare pupils for a world that has moved on.

'Criminal investigation against Thembi Simelane underway,' DA
A Saps investigating officer has been assigned to investigate the complaint against her. Justice Minister Thembi Simelane and Democratic Alliance (MP) Glynnis Breytenbach. Deputy Justice Minster Andries Nel is at the back. Picture: GCIS The DA says a criminal investigation against Minister of Human Settlements Thembi Simelane is currently underway, and a South African Police Service (Saps) investigating officer has been assigned to investigate the complaint against her. Investigation DA spokesperson on Justice and Constitutional Development Advocate Glynnis Breytenbach said Simelane is 'yet another ANC minister in the national executive of President Cyril Ramaphosa under investigation for a serious crime.' 'The DA had previously laid charges of corruption against Simelane, alleging theft of more than R700,000 by fraudulently billing Eskom when she worked for Vitrovian. Eskom is reported to have used Vitrovian, a consulting firm, to suppress protests at the Kusile Power Plant during its construction. 'Vitrovian's charges to Eskom appeared to have been severely inflated, and Eskom was allegedly invoiced by Vitrovian for work done by employees that did not exist. Simelane's signature appears on the very first of these fraudulent invoices, directly implicating her in the scandal,' Breytenbach said. The Citizen has contacted Simelane's office for comment. This will be added to the article once received. ALSO READ: DA submits PAIA request for Simelane's VBS report to Ramaphosa Claims denied In March 2025, Simelane dismissed these claims, saying she viewed them as a 'desperate attempt to draw her name in controversies for sensationalisation.' 'The office of the minister can confirm that the minister was an employee of Vitrovian in 2011 as a Project Director for seven months and was remunerated for the work she performed for the period she stayed at Vitrovian until she left. 'Notably, the minister can categorically state that she was not responsible for the contractual obligations of Vitrovian, and it is malicious to paint a picture that she might have been involved in any alleged activities or operations of price inflation as a mere employee of the company,' Simelane's office said. Cabinet reshuffle Simelane also faced serious criminal allegations for involvement in the looting of VBS Bank while she was the executive mayor of Polokwane. In December last year, Ramaphosa redeployed Simelane in a Cabinet reshuffle from the Justice and Constitutional Development cluster Ministry to Human Settlements. Swapping portfolios, Human Settlements Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi took over Simelane's spot as Justice and Constitutional Development Minister. ALSO READ: Ramaphosa owes nation explanation why Simelane still in Cabinet – Casac [VIDEO] VBS scandal Ramaphosa's decision to reshuffle Simelane came as she faced severe criticism over a R575 600 'commercial loan' she received from Gundo Wealth Solutions, a company accused of brokering unlawful investments of R349 million by the Polokwane Municipality into the now-defunct VBS Mutual Bank. Simelane used the 'commercial loan' from Gundo Wealth Solutions, owned by Ralliom Razwinane, to purchase a coffee shop in Sandton. She vehemently denied wrongdoing, asserting that she handled everything transparently and repaid the loan in full. In September 2024, Ramaphosa vowed not to sweep the allegations against Simelane, related to the VBS bank scandal, under the carpet. DA 'confident' Breytenbach said the DA is confident that the Saps will conduct a 'thorough investigation into these serious allegations'. The DA has for a long time now called for President Ramaphosa to remove Minister Thembi Simelane from the national executive, along with all ANC ministers and ANC deputy ministers, under the cloud of corruption. Breytenbach said it is time for Ramaphosa to act against 'ANC corruption'. ALSO READ: VBS Bank: 'Let us not condemn without evidence,' says Madonsela
