Mixed reaction over new Cabinet
There was mixed reaction to President Cyril Ramaphosa's changes to his executive and opposition parties believe that he could have done better.
Ramaphosa made massive changes
to his Cabinet yesterday evening, appointing a new finance minister, new health
minister and new defence minister among others. He also did away with the
intelligence ministry and split the Department of Human Settlements, Water and
Sanitation into two. DA leader John Steenhuisen said the only small positive
change in the Cabinet reshuffle was the departure of Health Minister Zweli
Mkhize.
Steenhuisen did not welcome
the folding of the state security portfolio into the Presidency, saying that
the country's intelligence machinery should not rest in the hands of the
president.
