Three Social Development MECs in one year raises concerns about stability within the department
3 December 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng notes that the Gauteng Premier, David Makhura has reshuffled his executives and the current MEC for Social Development, NomathembaMokgethi has been appointed as the new MEC for Health.
This clearly means that there will be a new MEC for Social Development in Gauteng.
This also means that this year alone there will have been a total of three MECs who have headed this department which is worrying considering that this department has been without a head for four months since the passing of the late MEC ThuliswaNkabinde-Khawe.
MEC Panyaza Lesufi was appointed in an acting position to the Department of Social Development but with all the challenges in his Department of Education, he did not have adequate time nor the passion to serve two departments at the same time.
