South Africa’s GNU Undergoing Major Reshuffle as DA Ministers Receive Removal Letters DATELINE: Pretoria, South Africa — LEAD President Cyril Ramaphosa has issued formal removal letters to two Democratic Alliance (DA) deputy ministers, Samantha Graham-Mare and Sello Seithlolo, as the Government of National Unity (GNU) faces a significant reshuffle.
The move, requested by DA leader Geordin Hill — Lewis, is aimed at strengthening the DA’s contribution to the GNU and is expected to be completed within 48 hours.
The reshuffle is part of the DA’s strategic move to ensure its strongest team is deployed to government, according to sources close to the process.
Analysts have noted that Hill — Lewis is asserting authority as the new DA leader.
The outgoing ministers, Graham — Mare and Seithlolo, have publicly posted the letters of dismissal on their social media accounts.
The incoming DA appointees are expected to be sworn in on Wednesday in Pretoria, marking a swift turnover in several key portfolios.
The reshuffle reflects the DA’s emphasis on accountability, performance, and governance reform within the GNU framework. KICKER: The reshuffle comes amidst ongoing political dynamics within the GNU and the DA’s internal leadership changes, with some observers suggesting that the DA is focusing on its representation in the national government to better reflect the mandate received from voters in the 2024 elections.
