President Cyril Ramaphosa’s decision to retain former Justice Minister Thembi Simelane, in his cabinet, could undermine the credibility of his administration.
That’s according to the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution.
Ramaphosa has been criticised for redeploying Simelane to the Human Settlements Ministry.
He has appointed Mmamaloko Kubayi as the new Justice Minister.
Simelane, is facing scrutiny over the loan she received from a company linked to the now defunct VBS Mutual Bank, in 2016.
No criminal charges have been brought against her.
CASAC’s Lawson Naidoo explains….
Kubayi doesn’t have any background in the legal system.
Naidoo says it would be ideal to have someone who has legal skills and experience in such a position..
