South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will announce changes to the national executive at 7:00 p.m. (1700 GMT) on Monday, presidential spokesman Vincent Magwenya said on Sunday.
A cabinet reshuffle has been widely expected since Ramaphosa was re-elected leader of the governing African National Congress at a party leadership contest in December, paving the way for him to run for a second term in 2024.
"The president is finalising his reconfiguration of the national executive," Magwenya said at a news briefing, adding that some members of parliament would be sworn in ahead of the reshuffling announcement. Ramaphosa is expected to name a new deputy president after the Presidency announced David Mabuza's resignation from the post on Wednesday. The new position of electricity minister is among the roles to be filled.
