Earlier today the president announced six changes to his national executive.
Here is a list of the changes:
- Blade Nzimande has been replaced by Hlengiwe Mkhize as the new Minister of Higher Education and Training
- Ayanda Dlodlo has been moved and re-appointed as the Minister of Home Affairs
- Mmamaloko Kubayi is the Minister of Communications
- David Mahlobo (the former State Security Minister) is the new Minister of Energy
- Bongani Thomas Bongo, a new entry into the cabinet, is the Minister of State Security
- Buti Manamela is the Deputy Minister of Higher Education and Training
This follows the controversial reshuffle in March, where Zuma axed five ministers, including then finance minister Pravin Gordhan.
