Kgosientso Ramokgopa removed as Gauteng MEC to meet gender target

Gauteng's economic development, agriculture and environment MEC, Kgosientso Ramokgopa, has fallen victim to the ANC's gender policy, giving up his executive portfolio to Morakane Mosupyoe, on Friday.

“This is in keeping with the commitment to ensure that women are well represented in executive structures of government, which I fully support,” Gauteng premier David Makhura said. Mosupyoe is currently the chair of the social development portfolio committee in the Gauteng provincial legislature. She served as a councillor in the City of Tshwane from 2006-2016. During this period, she also served as the member of the mayoral committee for health and social development and was the first female speaker in Tshwane.

Welcome to the other side of affirmative action gentlemen.

I believe in his competence to upscale Gauteng's economic progress
