The much-anticipated cabinet reshuffle, which had been on the cards for a while, was announced by President Ramaphosa last night. A few appointments warrant a closer look.
President Cyril Ramaphosa is set to shuffle the deck, with a number of ministers reported to be on the chopping block.
This past weekend, several ANC and government sources claimed another cabinet reshuffle was on the cards.
Last night, after two delays, Cyril Ramaphosa announced his new cabinet ministers, as well as South Africa’s new deputy president, David Mabuza. The man has a past.
Cyril swings axe. Fikile’s meltdown. Trump is so brave. Shooting survivors receive death threats. Bollywood star drowned. Zille – I’ll never quit Twitter. SA’s reading nightmare. Seacrest sexual assault allegations. Wayde’s knucklehead moment. Logan Paul will fight.
We’re all still reeling from the shock events of yesterday’s shuffle, Zuma’s 12th, and today Zapiro has come out swinging. It appears he also touched Fikile on his studio.
Zuma to axe Cyril soon. Cabinet reshuffle analysis. Panayiotou mistress in court. Trump’s net worth plummets. SA’s most expensive suburbs. Irish flyhalf charged with rape. Protea’s new ‘teenage sensation’. Liam Gallagher interview.
Once again, Jacob Zuma has reshuffled his cabinet out of the blue. Sorry to say it, but the reason will leave you sick to your stomach.
Hlaudi for president. More S&P downgrades. Bill O’ Reilly sacked by Fox. Wayde van Niekerk honoured. Venezuelans march. Serena won Oz Open whilst pregnant. Julia Roberts most beautiful. 420 watching.
There’s a good chance you don’t know that we all have a direct line to our members of parliament. Yes, that includes a cell number and direct email address.
Cyril’s name has often been punted as a potential JZ successor, but the events of the past few weeks may have ended his hopes.
Zuma birthday march. Trump on Syria, Brexit interference. Another downgrade. van Breda latest. Football explosion. Drug addicted snake. Queen’s weird job. Hillary shoes.
Friday saw a pretty peaceful march to Parliament here in Cape Town, but it was a different story for one man caught in the crossfire in Jozi.
Zuma claims racism. Bus and MyCiti strike. Trump travel spending. Pulitzer Prize winners. California school shooting. New bushbaby species. Kendall hiding out. Digital tombstones.
As South Africans around the country took to the streets to voice their discontent at Zuma and his recent antics, others claimed to be delighted with the downgrade.
If the last few weeks have taught us anything, it’s that Zuma and his cronies are becoming increasingly desperate. This weekend was another great example.

Time and time again Jacob Zuma manages to weave his way out of a corner, and we have seen that like never before these past few days. Prepare for the cringe.
Given that no South African president has had the balls to speak out against the atrocities happening in Zimbabwe, it’s no surprise that the comparisons are now in full swing.

I’m sure your social media timelines are filled with doom and gloom, which is understandable, but if you only read one angry rant then make it this one.
Vytjie Mentor has never been shy of dishing the dirt on Zuma and his cronies, and her latest post on the cabinet reshuffle is a whole different take on the matter.
It’s time to hear from Julius, and you can be sure he isn’t going to mince his words when it comes to how we should handle mopping up JZ’s mess.
Given the unprecedented nature of what has occurred these past 24 hours, even during JZ’s reign of terror, it’s no wonder politicians are flabbergasted.
It happened. Late last night, in true Zuma style, a new cabinet of ministers was announced. All we can do is hope and pray that some of them have a spine.
