South African President Ramaphosa’s Cabinet Reshuffle Sparks Debate Over Race, Competence and Controversial Returns
President Cyril Ramaphosa’s latest Cabinet reshuffle has triggered strong debate across South Africa.
The return of former minister Dina Pule has drawn criticism, while social media users have also questioned what they call a lack of racial diversity in several of the new appointments.
Supporters of the reshuffle argue that appointments should be based on competence, not race. They also say the changes reflect agreements made under the Government of National Unity.
