Cabinet reshuffle

from African Dialogue · host Channel Africa

South African President Jacob Zuma sacked his popular finance minister late Thursday as part of a larger cabinet reshuffle which could deepen divisions within the ruling ANC party and spook investors. Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, who has clashed with Zuma for months over graft and public spending, was replaced by Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba, a relatively unknown figure with little finance experience. Zuma also made changes at 10 of the country's 35 ministries, including energy, police and tourism. Some of the ministers are newcomers, while others were moved to new portfolios. To look at these developments we are joined on the line by:Levy Ndou: Politics and Public Policy Lecturer at the Tshwane University of Technology:Andre Devenage: Director for the Institute Research at the University of the North WestDr Somadoda Fikeni: Independent Political Analyst Dr Theo Venter: Political and Policy analyst: University of the North West.
