Cabinet Reshuffle by President Cyril Ramaphosa @KASIBCNEWS
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) condemns the recent cabinet reshuffle by President Cyril Ramaphosa as yet another pointless exercise that will do nothing to address the suffering of the people of South Africa. This unnecessary musical chairs of corrupt and incompetent ministers and deputy ministers is a blatant misdirection of resources that could be used to deliver basic services such as water, sanitation, healthcare, and education. President Ramaphosa’s reshuffle, announced on Tuesday, saw Thembi Simelane moved to the Department of Human Settlements as Minister, while Mamoloko Kubayi was shifted to the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Development. Phumzile Mgcina, formerly the Deputy Minister of Employment and Labour, has been appointed Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, while Judith Nemadzinga-Tshabalala, who previously served as Deputy Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, has been appointed as Deputy Minister of Employment and Labour. Instead of addressing the real crises facing our people—African children still dying in pit toilets, communities poisoned by contaminated water, and millions suffering without proper healthcare—the DA-ANC coalition government prioritises rewarding its cronies with cushy positions.
The only cabinet reshuffle that will bring any meaningful change to the lives of our people is the removal of this bloated and corrupt government, which continues to rob the people of South Africa to sustain the lavish lifestyles of a few political elites. The appointment of individuals with dark clouds hanging over them, such as Thembi Simelane, despite unresolved allegations of corruption linked to VBS Bank, is a clear indication that this reshuffle is not about service delivery or good governance.
The DA ANC government continues to recycle compromised leaders, using these reshuffles to shield corrupt officials and create an illusion of accountability. It is shameful that Simelane's questionable personal loan and connections to looted funds have not disqualified her from leadership. This government has no moral compass. The people of South Africa are subjected to constant betrayals, while those accused of plundering public resources are rewarded with new roles.
Finally, the EFF reiterates that deputy ministerial positions serve no purpose other than to reward political loyalty and secure salaries for the connected elite. The time has come to shuffle the DA-ANC coalition out of power and pursue economic freedom in our lifetime.
