The president has come under fire for increasing the size of his cabinet when he announced his reshuffle last week, with political parties criticising Ramaphosa for not sticking to his commitment to decrease the size of the executive.Ramaphosa believes the discussion about the size of the executive is important but lacks analysis into why these changes were made and whether they were necessary.“It is argued by some that any decrease in the number of ministers is good and any increase is bad.
The president said the executive needed to have the resources to tackle challenges including poverty, joblessness, homelessness, illiteracy, lack of social infrastructure and a significant burden of disease, adding countries with developed economies that do not face these problems may not need such an active state.“The size and design of their governments may be very different to ours.
