Some unions have accepted the GNU cabinet announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa while others are objecting to some of the appointments.
Unions have mixed reactions to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement of the Government of National Unity Cabinet on Sunday. The Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union said that appointing new ministers within the Criminal Justice Cluster is critical as it can influence the direction of law enforcement, corrections, and overall justice policies.
“We expect the newly appointed ministers to be committed to transformative leadership that addresses historical injustices and contemporary challenges within the criminal justice system. We anticipate the insurance of policies that promote fairness, transparency, and efficiency in law enforcement, corrections, and judicial processes,” the union said.
“We’re happy that Cyril and his DA stay away from the economic cluster, but he must be removed as a president of the country for bringing the DA into our lives. This is political-ideological treason !!” He wrote in another post. SADTU spokesperson Nomusa Cembi said that historically, the union has never been on good terms with the DA because its policies have been anti-trade union.
