NATIONAL- Two members of the NSFAS board have resigned, including interim chairperson Dr Mugwena Maluleke and Karabo Mohale, who chaired the Human Resources and Organisational Development Committee. Dr Maluleke stepped down citing personal and academic commitments, with the Higher Education and Training Department acknowledging his contribution to improving governance during his tenure.
The Department says the resignations have further reduced the number of voting board members, raising concerns about whether the board can continue to function lawfully and fulfil its statutory and fiduciary duties. Minister Buti Manamela has begun formal engagements with remaining members and is assessing the legal and governance implications of the situation.
