Over 70 ministers and deputy ministers who form part of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Cabinet for the 7th administration were sworn-in to office by Chief Justice Raymond Zondo on Wednesday.
The Cabinet members representing the Government of National Unity are from more than 10 political parties including the ANC, DA, IFP, PA, FF Plus, PAC, UDM, Good, Al-Jama-ah, Rise Mzansi and the NFP.
In a lengthy ceremony on Wednesday, the respective ministers took office. They say a picture says a thousands words, so let’s let the pictures, courtesy of the GCIS, do the talking.
From Sihle Zikalala, Senzo Mchunu to Jomo Sibiya, Ramaphosa’s ANC half of the cabinet is filled with his most trusted allies, as well as new young blood in the likes of Nonceba Mhlauli, Zuko Godlimpi, Nobuhle Nkabane and Phumzile Mgcina, who are all in the camp of the ANC Youth League.
While in terms of the ANC Women’s League, Angie Motshekga, Sisi Tolashe and company, are represented, as are the communists by Blade Nzimande and Buti Manamela.
From the GNU parties outside the ANC, the DA forwarded the names of John Steenhuisen, who then included his close Durban pal, Dean Macpherson, his chief whip Siviwe Gwarube, Leon Schreiber, Dion George and former party spokesperson Solly Malatsi, were handed the six ministerial posts.
Ramaphosa gave the PAC president Mzwanele Nyontso the land reform portfolio, Gayton McKenzie of the PA the Sports, Arts and Culture portfolio, Patricia De Lille of Good got the tourism gig and FF Plus’ leader Pieter Groenewald has been tasked with correctional services, while UDM leader Bantu Holomisa will be deputy minister in defence and Ganief Hendricks of Al-Jama-ah, is deputy minister for social development.
