“Whatever President Ramaphosa has decided, this reshuffle must not pander to the competing internal priorities of the ANC. I don’t hear much on the structure of the portfolio,” said Kotze. Ramaphosa must also not pander to the whims of the factions within the ANC to placate them.

Ramaphosa made sweeping changes to his Cabinet after formally appointing Paul Mashatile to be his deputy after the departure of David Mabuza last week.

"Nowhere in the process did Ramaphosa indicate that the interests of South Africans lay at the heart of the reshuffle. ActionSA said that Ramaphosa’s long-awaited Cabinet reshuffle was underwhelming at best, demonstrating the dearth of talent in the ruling party. In a statement issued on Monday night, Bosa said that the most significant line in Ramaphosa’s announcement speech was stating that it was not an overhaul of the executive, but only necessary to fill vacancies.

In an immediate reaction to Ramaphosa’s announcement, Mmusi Maimane’s Build One SA (Bosa) said the reshuffle proved to citizens just how out of touch the ANC government was with the needs and concerns of citizens.

This is the standard that I will hold them to, and I have full confidence that they will meet it. We must waste no time and spare no effort in restoring the promise of South Africa. In the course of attending to current challenges, we are establishing two new ministries. As government, Eskom and other stakeholders, we remain committed to that plan. The President may appoint no more than two ministers and two deputy ministers from outside the National Assembly. The Minister in the Presidency for Electricity will liaise with other relevant ministers to ensure coherence in the issuing of other directions during the national state of disaster.

President Cyril Ramaphosa said the delay of his cabinet reshuffle announcement was due to processes that needed to be followed.

The president may appoint no more than two ministers and two deputy ministers from outside the National Assembly,” he said. The reshuffle was delayed after Ramaphosa took ill last week. Addressing the nation on Monday night, Ramaphosa said he was aware there had been some “concern” about the time he had taken to make the announcement.

We can’t continue with such a situation which is why, as a council, we have called on the president to say, as he is about to announce his Cabinet, can he at least relieve Minister Nzimande of his duties in the department of higher education and training?” said Mudzanani. Mabuza had announced his resignation before that but Ramaphosa had asked him to stay on. They have centralised that process because they want to increase their looting pie.

But there is something more profound about the excitement generated by an event like this, and that is how the elites and pundits continue to be duped by the ANC’s tendency to individualise failure so that it cannot be corporately held accountable. This is a possibility that worries many, including the national elite class that has so far accepted the ANC’s leadership even as it declined. The eternally optimistic must be happy that the core problem has been found, and absent a ministry to oversee a crisis the ANC government cannot solve, such as crime, or the violent killing of women and children, or unemployment and poverty. Not only are they deeply frustrated with Ramaphosa, they are even more worried that a national coalition government may be as chaotic as the current circus enveloping the Gauteng metros. Under normal circumstances, you would expect a party in such a precarious position to bring out its best and brightest to take it through the final stretch so it can win back the confidence of South Africans. Third, we see a deepening of the tendency to create a ministry for every problem the ANC government cannot solve.

“The same rotten apples were shuffled from one post to another – the polar opposite of what was needed in a time of socio-economic crisis. The ANC is tired. “The ability and capacity are there and we hope that he will play a supportive role in dealing with load shedding. “Housing both of them in the Presidency also means that these ministers will be shielded from accountability in Parliament where a committee on the Presidency still does not exist. There is nothing said and done about that minister. What he should have done is to reinforce Eskom with the necessary manpower to bring an end to load shedding,” he told ENCA.

Why are we creating a third ministry to do the same job that they were failing to do but keep them in the same job? “If Gwede Mantashe and Pravin Gordhan are failing to resolve the energy crisis in South Africa, why are we not removing them and replacing them with competent people?

South Africa needs serious intervention in this space to give a once-thriving industry the boost it needs to stimulate economic growth. Municipalities should provide the basic foundation for local economies to build on, yet we have seen hundreds of municipalities regress and fail to serve their residents. Will this new minister account to parliament or only to the president?
