Important responsibility for new Minister of Electricity, but reshuffle questionable – …

There are some positives in the Cabinet reshuffle announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa, with some appointments having been welcomed by industry organisations; however, many were concerned by underperforming ministers being kept on and some reassigned, changes not being sufficiently decisive and the Cabinet size not being reduced. Importantly, Ramaphosa named a new Minister of Electricity, Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, and while the role he will play has been emphasised by some, other organisations have questioned the need for the position at all.
