There has been very little in the way of crisis management preparedness. No communication. 10s of thousands of patients having significantly delayed or missing medical results. And it is barely in the news. It is another very sad day for regular south africans who cannot afford 3k+/month private medical aid.

I think giving Agriculture to the DA and land Reform to the PAC is an excellent move, because it means that the two ministries, together, will have to look at the economic & food security implications of Land Reform, and the reasons why land reform already carried out hasn't worked well (lack of access to finance & agri knowledge support??), and MAKE IT WORK! It's in everyone's interest for the land to be reformed into a productive status, with all the support it needs to be a success at ensuring maximum participation in SA's land as well as food security for the country.

Thanks for this great analysis Sizwe and the time you put into helping all of us understand better. Regarding bloated cabinet, I think to an extent we carry emotional baggage with us regarding this because if we had 30yrs of efficient governance, I doubt anybody would be focussed on the size of the cabinet. I also think the splitting of portfolios is probably less to do with extending old anc patronage into new parties and more to do with the new parties coming in with demands that allow them to have enhanced efficiency around functions of government which align with political priorities. DA want to focus on demonstrating efficiency, economic growth and job creation, I would venture to guess that DA would've requested Agriculture being split from Land Reform because in 5yrs you can demonstrate all 3 these things in a focussed ministry. These parties still all want to prove something to south africans and use their time in cabinet to sell their brand. Flop or not in 5yrs time, that's a better place for a cabinet to start than apathy and business-as-usual.

Why did you appoint Angie Motshekga as Minister of Defence... You realise our men are dying in the Congo and they have inadequate support.

"for the first time ever" (in the first minute) is not exacrtly right. Genl. Hertzog's 1930 PACT government had two Labour Party cabinet ministers.

I remember President Mbeki saying the cabinet had effectively collapsed to just a "conglomerate of ministers", he used the example of Hanekom and Gigaba disagreeing in public about the impact of Home Affairs regulations on Tourism to make his point. The incoherence that is inevitably going to come from this cabinet made me think of that comment.

The largest organization in the country is the government with ZAR 2.13 Trillion in revenue... how many ministries does SMWX rationalize should exist?

Proverbs 13:3 ‘He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.’ An unknown poet wrote, ‘Be careful of the words you say And keep them soft and sweet. You never know from day to day Which ones you’ll have to eat.’
