Tag: cabinet reshuffle

There is a rare opportunity to right a lot of South Africa’s wrongs in one go. Corruption and unemployment are two major roadblocks. Permit me to explain how they can be simultaneously addressed within the current administration. I suggest an amnesty largely on the African National Congress (ANC’s) past wrongdoing in office in return for liberalisation of labour laws. This may be for a bit further down the line.

All eyes were on the President’s recent cabinet reshuffle; the vast majority of which was to see who would be appointed the new Minister of Electricity; responsible for putting an end to South Africa's load shedding woes. But amid all the noise (and Instagram memes!), you might have missed some interesting additions to the cabinet, including a new Deputy Minister for the Department for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation.
