President Jacob Zuma on Tuesday reshuffled Cabinet for the second time this year, with Blade Nzimande being axed from his higher education and training minister position.
When recently asked about the planned reshuffle that would see him lose his position, Nzimande laughed and said he knew nothing about it. In fact, according to Nzimande, it was just media speculation.
Watch his response below:

The worrying thing is that all these reshuffles are inspired by personal interests, not those of the country. #cabinetreshuffle
