President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced the new members of the National Executive for the seventh administration, which includes all the parties to the Government of National Unity.
The eleven parties to the GNU include the African National
Congress, Democratic Alliance, Patriotic Alliance, Inkatha Freedom Party, Good
Party, Pan Africanist Congress of Azania, Freedom Front Plus, United Democratic
Movement, Al Jama-ah, Rise Mzansi and the United Africans Transformation.
The highly anticipated announcement took place on Sunday after
Ramaphosa was elected as the President by the National Assembly and was
inaugurated on 19 June 2024.
Addressing the nation on Sunday evening, the President said
given the challenges that the country faces and considering the electoral
mandate this government must implement, he has decided to make certain changes
to the national government portfolios.
He said the Ministries of Electricity and Energy will be
merged.
“There will be a separate Ministry of Mineral and Petroleum
Resources. The Ministry of Agriculture will be separated from the Ministry of
Land Reform and Rural Development. The Ministry of Higher Education will be
separated from the ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. The ministry
of Justice and Constitutional Development will be separated from the ministry
