President Ramaphosa’s announcement this evening of changes to his national cabinet is less a reshuffle and more a gratuitous bloating.
Contrary to a commitment made in 2019 to reduce the number of ministries in the South African national executive, he has chosen to augment his cabinet by a further two ministries.
The Minister of Electricity and of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, will add an additional R74 million to the public wage bill.
