Ramaphosa appointed 32 cabinet ministers and 43 deputy ministers from different political parties who are part of the GNU.
The president appointed 32 cabinet ministers and 43 deputy ministers from different political parties who are part of the GNU.said the swearing in of the ministers and deputy ministers of the new government of national unity marks a significant moment in our country’s democracy.
“We have made good on our promise to the South African people to work together as political parties for the good of the country, and to deliver a government that will be united in action and purpose.”“Even in some of the world’s most established democracies, the formation of multi-party governments is often protracted and fraught with challenges. That we have reached this pivotal point just over four weeks since the election results were announced is a credit to our constitutional order.
“This is the first time in South Africa’s history that such a broad range of parties, from across the political spectrum, will constitute a government. In mandating us to form a government that serves all, the South African people have a rightful expectation that the seventh administration begins its work as soon as possible,” Ramaphosa said.“As political leaders, we must prove ourselves worthy of the trust our citizens have placed in this government.
“All the parties have made a commitment to respect the constitution and to promote an accountable and transparent governance, evidence-based policy and decision-making, the professionalisation of the public service, integrity and good governance,” Ramaphosa said.
Ramaphosa said the new GNU will hold its first Lekgotla soon to collectively develop the programme of government for the next five years.
