Minister Manamela condemns Fort Hare violence and tables Department’s 2024/25 Annual Report
The Minister of Higher Education and Training, Buti Manamela, has condemned the recent violence and destruction at the University of Fort Hare, describing it as criminal and unjustifiable. Briefing the media in Pretoria today, Minister Manamela said the government is working closely with the South African Police Service, the Eastern Cape government, and the university to restore calm and ensure that teaching and learning resume safely in the coming week. He urged all stakeholders to reject violence and protect the future of the historic institution, emphasizing that education must remain a space for progress and hope.
Furthermore, the Minister also tabled the Department’s 2024/25 Annual Report, highlighting achievements such as improved financial discipline, reduced irregular expenditure, and strong transformation in procurement. However, he expressed concern that only 49 percent of the department’s performance targets were met, calling for stronger accountability and internal controls. Manamela reaffirmed the department’s commitment to building an efficient, ethical, and accountable Post-School Education and Training system, saying efforts are underway to strengthen oversight, data integrity, and leadership capacity across institutions.
