| Former Deputy President David Mabuza |
President Cyril Ramaphosa has confirmed that David Mabuza has officially renounced his Deputy President's position.
Initially, the presidency was reluctant in accepting Mabuza's resignation. However, his wishes have been fulfilled following the expected cabinet reshuffling.
President Ramaphosa stated: "The Deputy President has undertaken the responsibilities of his office with dedication. I am grateful for the support he has provided to me throughout his term and for the leadership he has provided to the work of Government,” President Ramaphosa said.
“His contribution has been valued by the many constituencies with which he has engaged, including Traditional Leaders, Military Veterans, civil society formations, and international bodies. As Leader of Government Business, he has ably managed the relationship between the Executive and Parliament, working to ensure that the transformative legislative programme of this Administration is advanced.”
The country does not have a deputy president, and the president has been delaying reshuffling the cabinet.
Who is going to fill Mabuza's shoes?
