Manamela considers legal options over NSFAS ruling
Buti Manamela is considering legal options following the judgment of the High Court in Pretoria
The Department of Higher Education and Training is contemplating legal avenues in response to a recent High Court ruling, which ordered the suspension of Minister Buti Manamela's appointment as the administrator of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). The court's decision came following a legal challenge from seven board members of NSFAS against Manamela's decision to dissolve the scheme's board.
Minister Manamela's spokesperson, Matshepo Seedat, stated that the minister is carefully considering the implications of the court's judgment and has sought legal counsel. The department is working diligently to ensure that NSFAS continues to function effectively and that there is no disruption to student funding and other crucial NSFAS operations.
