PIETERMARITZBURG - IFP leader in the KwaZulu-Natal Legislature Velenkosini Hlabisa has welcomed the injection of young blood into the provincial cabinet, but questioned whether the appointments in the education and health portfolios were "wise". Kwazi Mshengu - chairperson of the ANC youth league in the province - would be heading up the provincial education portfolio, while the ANC's provincial spokesperson, Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu, was announced as the new MEC of health.
"This appointment is going to deepen the problems in the department as he has no experience in education. The same goes for health, because the new MEC has a legal background and is not familiar with matters in the medical or health field," said Hlabisa. Rogers said the appointment of Dube-Ncube as economic development and tourism MEC was "puzzling", following what the DA regarded as the failure of municipalities under her watch as cooperative governance MEC.
The reality though, added Rogers, was that the province would not move forward without the creation of a capable state.
