In this article, discussed is President Cyril Ramaphosa's first Cabinet which has a strong reformist flavour about it. However everything is not totally hunky-dory.
President Cyril Ramaphosa made sweeping changes to his Cabinet. He made changes to 24 of the 38 Cabinet portfolios.
There is strong reform impetus in his Cabinet as Nhlanhla Nene and Pravin Gordhan are back. Both were asked for standing up to state capture and their reappointment make a noteworthy statement. However, it is also a Cabinet of compromise as a result of three ministers who have been tainted by allegation of state and corruption have been retained and three have been fired.
I receive with pleasure the retention of Nhlanhla Nene to Treasury and Pravin Gordhan's appointment to Public Enterprises Department as these appointments offer an opportunity to stabilise the economy. President Cyril Ramaphosa has not only made South Africa's economic recovery his top priority, he sought to undo the greatest wrongs committed by his predecessor. I am glad about the retention of some ministers.
However, I am concerned about the retention of some other ministers, such as Malusi Gigaba and Bathabile Dlamini. Gigaba has been linked to the Gupta family and was found to have lied under oath, thus his retention is disturbing to me.
Some of Ramaphosa's appointments are causing alarm and indicate that he did not have a completely free hand in choosing the executive. I believe the key appointments in the economic cluster will be enough to boost the challenges, such as youth employment.

If President Cyril Ramaphosa had best interests of South Africa today; he could not include Malusi Gigaba and Bathabile Dlamini as Cabinet members and ministers that was a bad move.
ReplyDeleteI support Lubabalo Mmelwa President Cyril Ramaphosa should have also excluded Malusi Gigaba since He is still suspected to be having something to do with the Guptas.
ReplyDeleteI think he did not have completely free hand in choosing the Cabinet, as I believe he wouldn't have included them.
ReplyDeleteOoh Mr mbalula...even though hes rude...hes the best leader, he didnt deserve to be removed☹
ReplyDeleteI also agree with Sibabalwe. I mean if he was completely free then he wouldn't have included them because if you want to bring change then you must first change people from the inside.
