President Cyril Ramaphosa has given his clearest indication yet that his deputy David Mabuza is on the way out, following weeks of speculation as to when Mabuza might step down from his job.
During his reply to the parliamentary debate on his State of the Nation Address (SONA), Ramaphosa thanked Mabuza for his service, praising him for having been a worthy running mate over the last five years. “As I conclude I wish to extend my appreciation to Deputy President David Dabede Mabuza who has given me unwavering support over the last five years.
He has ably led the South African National Aids Council and has extensive engagements with military veterans and traditional leaders. Deputy President David Mabuza has indicated his wish to step down from his position.” Ramaphosa is expected to announce a cabinet reshuffle soon.
