There were mixed reactions to the cabinet changes made by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday night.
, DA leader John Steenhuizen — who had earlier called for the security cluster ministers to be sacked — said it was a pity that police minister Bheki Cele survived the cull.
He said it was long overdue that the health ministry has a permanent minister in the midst of a health crisis, and that it was worrying that Ramaphosa had to wait for Dr Zweli Mkhize to resign. Holomisa also said he had noted that the president was beginning to take the department of intelligence services seriously., said Ramaphosa was rewarding incompetence by redeploying some ministers instead of removing them altogether.
Freedom Front Plus leader Pieter Groenewald said Modise’s appointment would bring stability and integrity to the defence.
