President Ramaphosa expected to make the cabinet announcement soon: Mzwandile Mbeje

While the country has been kept on tenterhooks on the cabinet announcement, President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to make the announcement soon.
Deliberations among ten political parties in the government of national unity have neared their finality. The engagements have not been without any hiccups with the DA demanding key cabinet positions.
For more on this I'm joined in studio by SABC News Political Editor Mzwandile Mbeje.

Shouldn't we just all wait for the president to announce his cabinet whenever he does so? I'm tired of hearing SOON SOON SOON from the media.

Let Mr Ramaphosa appoint who ever he sees fit for positions The fact is any decisions you make or actions you take, have consequences Let the government deal with that

[@Charlescharles-m1y]

He knows what his agreement with DA. Let that agreement be made public. Otherwise the DA will disclose it

[@powlly5738]

True. ANC must resist pressure from sacp and cosatu. These 2 do not bring any votes for the ANC. They must form their own parties and then go into alliance with ANC and share power based on what they bring to the alliance. Not some fictitious pie in the sky ideas

[@makgaboepitanus6969]

The president is unfortunately being delayed by anc alliance and anc members. But giving some key positions to e.g the da could benefit the idea of improving governance. Just like reviewing aspects of procurement when improving performance. Unfortunately members of the anc only think about being laid off - but of course after being in parliament for 30 years they should financially be well off to go and enjoy their takings - or have they squandered it all ?

It's not all about the DA, the ANC wants to hold on the key departments where corruption happens or we should where they play with the money meant for the poor mostly black people in this country. People no longer care who comes in, as long as them the poor citizens are taken care of in terms of service delivery.

If the DA leaves Cyril Ramaohosa will use another party. He must have power at all costs. Before leaving business for politics in 2014, he served for over a decade as MTN chairman and nine years as Bidvest chairman. He was also a non-executive director at Alexander Forbes, Macsteel, SABMiller, and Standard Bank.

[@etd5791]

DA should in the case of " take it or leave it" , leave it and sit back with a farmload of popcorn and watch the sequel to "30 years of self destruction and failure" this is turning into a total mess.

[@motifics]

It's a mess only if you take the word of an SABC political analyst of what is happening in the discussions. He's just speculating, and stirring

[@noreenhills2433]

Nobody can be suprised that there are now power struggles occurring and from what we are reading and hearing, President is now basically ignored the agreement agreed with the DA originally. If the DA stands aside and withdraws we are in serous trouble as a country!

[@leonlazaus4443]

[@ianthomas7819]

ANC spent 30 years to get where we are now, what's changing. EFF and MK don't want the ANC what a mess.

To be fair, There are 30 cabinet ministers. Since ANC got 40 % of the vote, it should get 12, DA should get 9 ministers, and the rest of the parties 9 ministers.

The only party that deserves a cabinet position other than the DA & IFP is PA, the rest don’t deserve nothing…
