    Cabinet reshuffle announced Monday 26 February 2018 by President Cyril Ramaphosa

    Fellow South Africans,

    I have decided to make certain changes in the composition of the National Executive.

    These changes are intended to ensure that national government is better equipped to implement the mandate of this administration and specifically the tasks identified in the State of the Nation Address.

    In making these changes, I have been conscious of the need to balance continuity and stability with the need for renewal, economic recovery and accelerated transformation.

    As indicated in the State of the Nation Address, we have begun a review of the configuration, size and number of national Ministries and Departments.

    We will retain the existing Ministries and Departments until that review is completed.

    With respect to Ministers, I have decided to make the following changes:

    Communications: Ms Nomvula Mokonyane

    Energy: Mr Jeff Radebe

    Higher Education and Training: Ms Naledi Pandor

    Home Affairs: Mr Malusi Gigaba

    Human Settlements: Ms Nomaindia Mfeketo

    International Relations and Cooperation: Ms Lindiwe Sisulu

    Mineral Resources: Mr Gwede Mantashe

    Police: Mr Bheki Cele

    Public Enterprises: Mr Pravin Gordhan

    Public Service and Administration: Ms Ayanda Dlodlo

    Public Works: Mr Thulas Nxesi

    Rural Development and Land Reform: Ms Maite Nkoana-Mashabane

    Science and Technology: Ms Nkhensani Kubayi-Ngubane

    Social Development: Ms Susan Shabangu

    Sport and Recreation: Ms Tokozile Xasa

    State Security: Ms Dipuo Letsatsi-Duba

    The Presidency: Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation: Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma

    The Presidency: Women: Ms Bathabile Dlamini

    Tourism: Mr Derek Hanekom

    Transport: Dr Blade Nzimande

    Water and Sanitation: Mr Gugile Nkwinti

     

    With respect to Deputy Ministers, I have made the following changes:

    Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries: Mr Sfiso Buthelezi

    Communications: Ms Pinky Kekana

    Finance: Mr Mondli Gungubele

    Public Service and Administration: Dr Chana Pilane-Majeke

    Small Business Development: Mr Cassel Mathale

    The positions of Deputy Minister of Public Enterprises and Deputy Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation will remain vacant.

    Pending the completion of their swearing-in as Members of the National Assembly, I intend to further appoint:

     

    Mr David Mabuza as the Deputy President of the Republic

    Dr Zweli Mkhize as Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs

    Mr Nhlanhla Nene as Minister of Finance

    Ms Reginah Mhaule as Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation

     

    The new Ministers and Deputy Ministers will be sworn in in Cape Town tomorrow.

    I wish to express my appreciation to all outgoing Ministers and Deputy Ministers for their service to government and to the people of South Africa.

    I thank you for your attention.

    Good evening.
