President Jacob Zuma has received and accepted the resignation of the Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training, Mr Mduduzi Manana,

Footage apparently showing deputy higher education minister Mduduzi Manana assaulting a woman earlier this month sparked outrage from civil society and opposition parties and prompted Manana to offer a public apology.
“President Jacob Zuma has received and accepted the resignation of the Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training, Mr Mduduzi Manana,” the presidency said in a statement.
Manana, who made his first appearance in court last week on a charge of assaulting Mandisa Duma, had been released on 5,000 rand ($380) bail.
“I have decided – on my own, to step down,” Manana said, adding that he is seeking professional help and will now focus on the pending legal proceedings.
