Newly Appointed Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube Faces Challenges Ahead

Over the weekend, the newly appointed Basic Education Minister, Siviwe Gwarube, and her family experienced a rollercoaster of emotions during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final.

Gwarube expressed devastation when India‘s Suraykumar Yadav took a spectacular catch in the last over, dismissing Proteas‘ batsman David Miller.

President Cyril Ramaphosa‘s appointment of Gwarube as minister of basic education came as a surprise on Sunday night, shifting the focus to the challenges she will face in her new role.

Gwarube, a notable figure in education and politics, now holds the responsibility for shaping the future of the country’s education system.

Experts believe that Gwarube will need to address issues such as access to quality education, infrastructure development, teacher training, and curriculum reforms.
