African National Congress (ANC) deputy president Paul Mashatile is now officially a member of the National Assembly (NA). In a letter to the ruling party’s secretary general Fikile Mbalula, the NA secretary Masibulelo Xaso confirms that Mashatile will replace ANC MP Tshilidzi Munyai, who resigned earlier this week.
While much speculation remains about when President Cyril Ramaphosa will announce a reshuffle of his Cabinet, former Johannesburg mayor Parks Tau has been replaced as chairperson of the Gauteng legislature finance committee. The legislature has not yet confirmed his resignation as an MPL, but he was said to have resigned last week.
