Two Members of the Executive Council, Gillion Mashego and Sasekani Manzini swapped their portfolios at a media briefing today.
This move comes after labour unions, communities and other stakeholders which include opposition parties called for Mashego’s removal. Premier, Refilwe Mtsweni said it is important to maintain the stability in provincial government.

The premier says she is not blaming MEC Mashego for the collapse of public health care in the province.

I’m closing, the premier explains that the reason why she is not blaming Mashego for the unending problems to public health care is due to historic bearing especially in infrastructure.

The premier adds and reassures that MEC Manzini has the capacity to turn around the department of health. This is after a question was raised if she is capable as she does not have the experience in the health sector.
