The Speed of Accountability

President Ramaphosa's simultaneous dismissal of Higher Education Minister Nkabane and suspension of NPA head Chauke has divided analysts. Independent political analyst Dr. Dale McKinley argues: 'This reflects Ramaphosa's reactive governance—he acts only when forced by coalition pressures or public outcry.'

Contrasting Approaches

• Nobuhle Nkabane - Fired immediately -After DA budget blockade
• Andrew Chauke - Suspended with inquiry - 2 years after Batohi's recommendation

Opposition Reactions

The MK Party's no-confidence motion and EFF's Constitutional Court challenge over acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia's appointment compound Ramaphosa's woes. UKZN's Ndlovu notes: 'The GNU's stability now hinges on whether these moves are seen as principled or politically expedient.'
