South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has dismissed Higher Education Minister Nobuhle Nkabane following allegations of misconduct by the Democratic Alliance (DA), a key coalition partner. The DA accused Nkabane of manipulating board appointments to favor African National Congress (ANC) affiliates, and misleading parliament—claims she has denied. Her removal could help ease growing tensions between the ANC and DA just days before a crucial budget vote. The DA had threatened to derail the national budget by opposing departments led by ministers the DA deems unethical, including Nkabane. The fallout follows a recent spat after Ramaphosa sacked a DA deputy minister over an unauthorized foreign trip. All eyes now turn to Wednesday’s Appropriation Bill vote, a critical test for the fragile unity of South Africa’s coalition government.
