Ramaphosa delays CabinetAnnouncement.
South Africans will have to wait a bit longer before finding out who their new ministers and deputy ministers will be.
The presidency announced on Sunday evening that Ramaphosa will only announce the members of the new executive later in the week.“The Constitution of the Republic stipulates that the President must assume office within five days of being elected by the National Assembly – and thereafter appoint a Cabinet and assign its powers and functions,” Ramaphosa’s spokesperson Khusela Diko said.
The presidency would not say whether the postponement was to allow for the swearing in of ANC deputy president David Mabuza. The Sunday Times reported that Mabuza approached the ANC’s integrity committee on Friday to clear his name after he postponed his swearing in as a member of parliament on Wednesday.Head of integrity committee George Mashamba said they are likely to compile their report and send it to the ANC’s top six by Tuesday.
