QUICK READ

MPS quit

THREE former Cabinet ministers who were axed in President Cyril Ramaphosa’s reshuffle have quit as members of the national legislature. After changes to the national executive, Lindiwe Sisulu, Nathi Mthethwa and Maite Nkoana-mashabane were shown the door.

Sisulu’s position in tourism was taken by Patricia de Lille, who was moved from public works and infrastructure.

Nkoana-mashabane, pictured, was succeeded by Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma as minister of women in the Presidency.

Mthethwa was succeeded by former deputy minister in the Presidency Zizi Kodwa as minister of sports, arts and culture.

Parliament confirmed on Wednesday that the three ministers have resigned their seats in the National Assembly with immediate effect.

This came a day after the ANC had allocated them to portfolio committees.
