President Cyril Ramaphosa is likely to make a decision on a cabinet reshuffle after the end of the month, ANC deputy president Paul Mashatile told the media this week.
Speaking at the ANC’s presidential golf day in Mangaung, Free State, Ramaphosa said he would not give in to media pressure to reshuffle cabinet.
“That is the most pre-eminent thing in your thoughts. Just obliterate that and wait for the moment when the president has applied his mind and stop asking when that is going to happen.the ANC will lobby Ramaphosa to include “youthful” ministers in government to accelerate service delivery. “What we do not want is people who are not going to deliver. We do not want incompetence, that is non-negotiable. We want people who are going to do the work. We want a gender-sensitive government, a government that is youthful, that is running,” said Mbalula.
“We do not want people sleeping on the job. If the president is going to come with sleepers, he must forget [about] our support. “We are one year from the national elections. There are posts in government that must be filled and if the president wants to go beyond that, it is up to him, but we want a functioning government.”
