How arrogance can lead to a politician's downfall
Higher Education Minister Dr Nobuhle Nkabane's recent shocking display of unadulterated arrogance was deeply concerning. Image: File/Sibonelo Ngcobo/Independent Newspapers 'Politicians are like monkeys in that 'the higher they climb, the more revolting are the parts they expose'.' — Gwilym Lloyd George, 1st Viscount Tenby A disturbing display of arrogance Tebogo Letsi, Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Higher Education: 'Question: In your own view, Minister, what makes a person credible?' Dr Nobuhle Nkabane, Minister of Higher Education and Training: 'What makes a person credible chair is exactly how it is defined when you goggle… eh… encyclopedia. You will see what it means, exactly that.' Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee: 'You are not going to answer us, Minister.' Minister (unashamedly chewing food in her mouth and disdainfully looking to another direction): 'I have responded, chairperson.' 'It is an old tale, as old as the conduct of human affairs, which was summed up pretty definitively by Lord Acton well over a century ago: power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.' On arrogance, the French proverb states: 'None are more haughty than a commonplace person raised to power.' Charles Haddon Spurgeon similarly noted: 'None are more unjust in their judgements of others than those who have a high opinion of themselves.' The recent shocking display of unadulterated arrogance by the Minister of Higher Education and Training was deeply concerning. Her despicable, shameless, and discourteous conduct — exemplified by chewing food while responding to critical questions during a live televised parliamentary session — reflects her ignorance of how a public figure should carry herself.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Arrogance is the most dangerous leadership flaw. Believing one is infallible or smarter than everyone else inevitably leads to underestimating others or overestimating one's own knowledge. It is the Achilles heel of those who are smart but think they are more clever than they really are. As Jeff Immelt says, '[T]op leaders cannot allow weak spots to be blind spots.' Arrogance often manifests as disparaging and objectionable behaviours targeted at others, ranging from aloofness and not listening to more serious actions like dismissing, deceiving, belittling, and hostility. According to Johnson et al's study, 'Acting superior but actually inferior? Correlates and consequences of workplace arrogance,' arrogant behaviours may be performed as a façade to mask incompetence. Nkabane may be an effective politician, but lacks the gravitas of a true leader. This is what happens when people are rushed into positions they're not ready for. Speed in rushing things in politics kills. The ANC's conspicuous silence regarding the minister's egregious behaviour is both shocking and concerning. The ANC should have reined in Nkabane and instructed her to apologise to the nation. Failure to publicly restrain her will have serious political ramifications. I won't call for the minister's sacking. I believe in giving people second chances because no politician is immune to the arrogance of power. As the saying goes: 'Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.' The failure of both the minister and her senior officials to answer straightforward questions indicates deeper problems within the department. The minister's supercilious behaviour has created a 'perfect storm' troubling our democracy. Gifted leaders are frequently endowed with self-importance and a sense of imperious assurance. American organisational and management psychologist Hodges L Golson suggests a four-quadrant approach with brainpower on one axis and arrogance on the other: Low competence and low arrogance: Unlikely to rise to high ranks High competence and low arrogance: Solve problems without being offensive Low competence and high arrogance: Dangerous because they don't realise their limitations High competence and high arrogance: Interesting because of competing forces of "great potential and great danger" These leaders 'win any individual battle but often lose the war' due to their destructive impact on morale and relationships. What Nkabane clearly lacks is intellectual humility — a quality essential for effective leadership. Intellectual humility involves: Awareness of one's limitations and biases Willingness to revise views based on evidence Open-mindedness and curiosity Realism about one's flaws and capabilities Teachability and adaptability In political contexts, intellectually humble individuals demonstrate greater openness to opposing views, investigate misinformation more thoroughly, and endorse more moderate positions overall.

Nsfas R2.5m head office delays prolong terminating lease
The current Nsfas leadership has distanced itself from the controversial agreement The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (Nsfas) continues to pay R2.5 million monthly for its headquarters, as legal delays prolong the termination of an alleged irregular lease agreement. The student funding agency recently disclosed that judicial scheduling constraints have pushed back the critical court application to set aside the contentious lease beyond the initially planned April 30 deadline, prolonging the financial burden on the cash-strapped organisation. Nsfas legal battle continues with SIU support The scheme is working with the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to pursue a lease cancellation in court. 'Nsfas has engaged extensively and is cooperating fully with the Special Investigating Unit regarding the lease termination process,' the organisation said. The student aid scheme emphasised its alignment with the SIU's legal strategy, declaring that it 'would comply with any court decision on the matter' while working as a co-applicant in the unit's application to void the lease. ALSO READ: Nsfas recovers over R850 million following SIU probe Parking spots costing millions Beyond the substantial monthly rental payments, Nsfas acknowledged additional concerns surrounding parking facilities at the headquarters, which carry a five-year price tag of R18.6 million. The agency defended the current payments as unavoidable contractual commitments established when the lease was originally executed. 'Nsfas confirmed that it pays a monthly rental of R2.5 million, in accordance with the existing lease agreement with the landlord,' officials stated, noting that 'this amount reflects contractual obligations negotiated at the time of signing.' ALSO READ: Higher education minister withdraws appointment of Seta board chairpersons Nsfas board distances itself from previous decisions The current Nsfas leadership has distanced itself from the controversial agreement, emphasising that the lease arrangement preceded the board's appointment. Despite this, board members acknowledged their duty to address inherited problems. 'While this lease predates the appointment of the current Nsfas Board, the Board remains committed to its core mandate of implementing a comprehensive turnaround strategy founded on transparency, accountability, and fiscal responsibility.' Reform strategy underway The agency outlined extensive measures being implemented to prevent similar situations in the future. As part of this strategy, the scheme vowed to uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards wastage, fraud, and corruption. Nsfas added that 'any irregular contracts will be terminated in strict adherence to established due process.' ALSO READ: SIU launches probe into National Skills Fund Contingency planning for relocation Anticipating an eventual successful lease termination, Nsfas revealed it has begun developing backup plans to ensure seamless operations during any potential headquarters transition. The preparations form part of a broader organisational restructuring initiative. The scheme explained that contingency arrangements 'aim to minimise operational and staff disruptions' while the organisation collaborates 'with relevant stakeholders to finalise arrangements.' The relocation planning aligns with Nsfas' wider regionalisation objectives, designed to enhance both operational effectiveness and service delivery to students across the country. Broader legal action against irregular contracts The headquarters lease represents just one component of Nsfas' extensive legal campaign to address questionable agreements inherited from previous administrations. According to a May 7 presentation to parliament's higher education portfolio committee, the agency is pursuing multiple contract cancellations in court. The organisation confirmed it has begun implementing recommendations from both the Auditor-General and the SIU as core elements of its institutional transformation Programme. These reforms encompass technology system improvements, enhanced contract oversight, and strengthened internal governance mechanisms. ALSO READ: No party favourites: Minister defends appointment of Mantashe's son to Seta board Future vision despite current challenges Despite ongoing financial and legal complications, Nsfas leadership maintained its commitment to the organisation's fundamental mission of supporting disadvantaged students' educational aspirations. 'Nsfas envisions a future where every eligible student, regardless of background, has equitable access to transformative education,' officials stated in their recent parliamentary report. The agency asked for patience as it navigates the complex legal and administrative processes required to resolve inherited irregularities. 'Nsfas remains committed to transparency, good governance, and responsible management as we undertake these critical reforms. We thank the public and all stakeholders for their continued support and understanding,' the organisation declared. READ NEXT: Higher Education and Nsfas vow action amid Durban student protests

Higher Education and Nsfas vow action amid Durban student protests
KwaZulu-Natal students demand urgent action from Nsfas and DHET as unpaid fees and delayed registrations disrupt academic progress. Amid student marches in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), over delayed payments by the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (Nsfas), the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and Nsfas say they are actively working together to resolve ongoing funding challenges. Since the beginning of the academic year, university students have faced numerous funding challenges, including application discrepancies, late registration confirmation and appeals, and budget constraints. Students from different higher education institutions in KZN marched on Friday over non-payments. Durban students march over Nsfas non-payment The students started gathering at King Dinuzulu Park in Durban to demand urgent intervention from the scheme and the department. 'Nsfas must pay all historical debt that is left unpaid by Nsfas. Close the closeout project cases for students to get their qualifications,' read a sign by the South African Students Congress-affiliated students. 'DHET must clear historical debt now' and 'Release the loan funding guidelines with immediate effect', read the signs from EFF Student Command (EFFSC)-affiliated students. ALSO READ: DUT denies claims of Nsfas registration portal closure Due to errors made during the application process, some university students who applied during the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) application cycle have had issues with their registration status. Late registration confirmation & appeals, and budget constraints The DHET and Nsfas said the registration statuses of some students were only confirmed after the official deadline, causing delays in their access to funding support. Due to a limited remaining budget, students whose appeals have been granted are also facing financial shortages. This is impacting their capacity to pay for registration and related costs. ALSO READ: Nsfas slams 'fake news' about registration portal closure In a joint statement on Friday, DHET and Nsfas said they are actively collaborating to address these challenges. 'Efforts include reviewing applications from students who applied during the TVET application cycle, providing funding for students whose registration was submitted late and exploring options to allocate additional resources to support students with approved appeals,' the institutions said. Institutions must assist students – DHET and Nsfas DHET and Nsfas also encourage higher education institutions to assist students in resolving outstanding issues promptly. 'We remain committed to ensuring that all eligible students have access to the funding necessary to continue their studies without undue disruption,' the DHET and Nsfas said.
