Centre for Development and Enterprise’s Ann Bernstein criticised the decision to move veteran Minister Lindiwe Sisulu from human settlements, water and sanitation to tourism.
JOHANNESBURG - Some economists say this week’s Cabinet reshuffle was not good for driving economic reform.
Centre for Development and Enterprise’s executive director Ann Bernstein is among economists who have questioned President Cyril Ramaphosa’s choice of ministers in the economic cluster, with the exception of new Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana who has broadly gotten the nod from the sector. On Friday, she criticised the decision to move veteran Minister Lindiwe Sisulu from human settlements, water and sanitation to tourism.
“As soon as COVID starts to lift in anyway and the country gets vaccinated, tourism has to be one of the key drivers of economic growth in South Africa and job creation. And yet the minister who’s been put in charge, has failed to perform in all her other portfolios and we have to ask why she is in charge of such an important portfolio for job creation.

This subtle framing notwithstanding, it was a Cabinet reconfiguration that was as bold as the intra-ANC factional-coup attempt that had been transforming into a national security crisis in the past month.
