Reaction to Mbeki's cabinet reshuffle


President Thabo Mbeki’s cabinet reshuffle has not been met with unanimous approval. The Freedom Front Plus says it objects to the appointment of Lulama Xingwana as Minister of Agriculture and Land Affairs.

Party spokesperson Pieter Gronewald says they do not object on the grounds that Xingwana is not capable, but because they believe her appointment will delay the land reformation process.

Land reform is a particularly sensitive process and it is going to take the new minister time to study all the problems involved.
