President Cyril Ramaphosa announced new ministerial positions and a restructured national executive on Thursday.
"I have also accepted a long-standing request by Minister Tito Mboweni to be excused from his position as Minister of Finance. Minister Mboweni took up this position following the sudden departure of former Minister Nhlanhla Nene in October 2018," Ramaphosa said.
"The second change we are making is to do away with the Ministry of State Security and place political responsibility for the State Security Agency in the Presidency," Ramaphosa said. "This is to ensure that the country’s domestic and foreign intelligence services more effectively enable the President to exercise his responsibility to safeguard the security and integrity of the nation."
