Discontinued Inc – Ministers and deputies who were demoted, quit or got the chop

It is shocking to see the ANC doing the same mistake again how can you employ someone who has no police qualifications to control people who have police qualifications? What does Senzo mchunu knows about police? Why did the government not take someone within the police to be a police Minister? The ANC is gambling with South Africans life crime and murder is so high in South Africa but still the ANC is giving a chance to unqualified people to run the police And the army the ANC have lost the elections buy it seems like they haven't learned their lesson they're still carrying on with cadre deployment shooting themselves in the foot this time they're not going to lose the elections but the ANC is going to Die forever because of their choices and arrogance.

Prediction: the ousted will pop up in cushy ambassador jobs. Low stress, enormous perks.

I still feel that although the cabinet is ridiculously huge, at least there is a fairer representation and at least Bheki Cele and Naledi Pandoor are out of the picture. Let us hope that things will improve. Well, so far we have still got electricity and it’s well after elections .

A great relief to see the end of Pandor, the grovelling acolyte of Vladimir Putin. Cele gone. Maybe too late, seeing the awful damage he did to our police force. Patel, useless in most respects, especially his hysterical handling of Covid rules. Motsoaledi. After demolishing Home Affairs he now takes on the already demolished health ministry. How is this appointment even remotely possible? Easy. It's called cadre deployment. Ramaphosa dogma at its worst. Jobs for buddies once again.

This cabinet selection puts one in mind of a King bestowing Lordships and Dukedoms to preserve and protect his position. 'Subject Matter Expertise' (or even interest) is not a relevant quality, effective management is not even hoped for. So Primitive!

They retired rather than being fired. The ability to move down from Minister to Deputy Minister demonstrates the humility of those three individuals. They will likely help new Ministers to hit the ground running. Luckily they are grounded persons who have the ability to work well with their new colleagues. We need to get used to collaborative governance because the voters are becoming more discerning in their voting preferences.

Awkward to learn the ropes as a new minister when your deputy who had previously occupied your post knows more and won't be too happy with his demotion. Is the deputy a deployed cadre placed to undermine his new boss. Or is the deputy someone who will put aside his feelings to aid and guide the new incumbent?

so many people. so much money needed to pay for them. so little done. why? why? why?

People need to understand that there are no "axing" or demotion following an election. The president automatically resigns on the eve of an election, and with him, the Executive is dissolved. If the same president is elected again by the National Assembly, s/he constitutes a brand new Executive. If some people from the previous Executive survive, they are new ministers and deputy ministers. There are no continuity in the Cabinet or Parliament. "While it’s not clear why President Cyril Ramaphosa decided to boot him out of the position"... It is abundantly clear, my dear. The ANC received only 73 seats in the national vote; which means that they could only send 73 members to the NA (in addition to the 86 seats it won in the regional ballot). This 73 includes Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa, who was elected as president by the NA, and automatically resigned his seat as a member of Parliament. Parks Tau replaced him as MP. Bheki Cele was number 79 on the ANC list for national-to-national. This means that the ANC has to lose five more MPs before Cele can be sworn in. His term as minister of police, and MP, came to an end on 29 May 2024 at 00H00. He was not there to be "booted out". While I understand what you are trying to convey here, it might be better for you to leave politics and the intricacies of governance to those who actually know what they are talking about

How could Ramsphosa keep Geede Mantashe as mining minister. One of the key positions in the hands of a dinosaur. Frightening!!

It’s good to see the back of the lot of them, but especially the awful Pandor and equally odious Dlamini-Zuma.

Finally seeing the end of the cruel pig farmer Thandi Modise, the Crook in a Hat Cele, and "Fire Pool" Nxesi (did he fall through the cracks like the freelancers he ignored?) although the loss of Pandor is sad. Pravin, I think reached the end of his road, exhausted and needs some time out. It's also a relief to see the end of Nkosazana "zoll" Dlamini Zuma, and that fashionista MK guerrilla Lindiwe Zulu with the big mouth.
