Mabuza tells Ramaphosa he's stepping down: Deputy president David Mabuza has communicated his intention to resign to President Cyril Ramaphosa.
TimesLIVE has learnt there have been a series of engagements this week between Mabuza and Ramaphosa ahead of an imminent cabinet reshuffle.
Mabuza is said to have told Ramaphosa he wants to resign to allow for a smooth transition in the government after the election of Paul Mashatile as the ANC’s deputy president. Mabuza told Ramaphosa he preferred for there to be alignment between leadership positions in the ANC and government. “While there is no pronouncement by the president on any changes in the executive, the deputy president has, within the context of ANC leadership changes, taken a considered view that it is important to align party leadership roles with government responsibilities,” the office of the deputy president told TimesLIVE.
“To this end, he has engaged the president on his intention to resign to foster leadership synergies and cohesion both in the party and the state. The deputy president is awaiting a decision to that effect.”
