Johannesburg - Gauteng Premier David Makhura has indefinitely postponed the much-anticipated announcement of his provincial cabinet, which he was scheduled to reveal on Tuesday noon.
In a statement on Tuesday morning, provincial government spokesperson Thabo Masebe said Makhura would no longer announce his new MECs as promised. Makhura is under pressure to include more women in his cabinet while not excluding influential political leaders who were men and who were eyeing seats in the 11-member executive council.
Following his re-election, Makhura undertook to make major changes to his provincial executive council where he said he would deploy younger MECs and mix them with those in the ANC’s caucus who had experience in governance, especially in running municipalities.
