Cabinet reshuffle in South Africa

from African Dialogue · host Channel Africa

President Jaboc Zuma has once again reshuffled his cabinet. To date this is cabinet reshuffle number 12. In March this year he fired former minister of Finance Pravin Gordan and his deputy Mcebisi Jonas, making that move his 126th change to his national executive. So far Zuma has made over 62 changes to ministerial positions, and just above 63 deputy ministerial positions, deeming it the biggest changes to have been in seen in South Africa. The recent reshuffle has seen Higher Education Minister and South African Communist Party Secretary General Blade Ndzimande being axed. Minister of Energy Mamoloko Kubayi was removed and replaced with States Security Minister David Mahlobo. Now today on the show we really look at the necessity of all these reshuffles….
