Weekend newspaper reports said President Ramaphosa is under pressure to fire Gwarube over Bela Act disagreements.
President Cyril Ramphosa says the BELA Act is now law, with ongoing discussions aimed at resolving disputes over critical provisions.The Democratic Alliance has hit back at speculation that its member and Minister of Basic Education Siviwe Gwarube could lose her job as tensions continue to simmer around the Bela Act .
He said there is ongoing misinformation around the consultation process which has been taking place since Ramaphosa signed the Bela Act into law nearly three months ago, withholding clauses 4 and 5, to allow for further consultation from concerned parties. Steenhuisen said the Presidency is now seeking to backtrack from the Nedlac engagements which it is party to.
“We have been clear since the outset. We are in government to bring about positive change, including inclusive economic growth, and jobs, and at all times we are guided by the rule of law, and the Constitution of South Africa. Anything to the contrary will not be tolerated,” Steenhuisen warned.
