President Jacob Zuma
President Jacob Zuma’s latest Cabinet reshuffle, which is the second in seven months, came as a surprise to many on Tuesday morning.
The move saw him make many changes to the Cabinet, including axing former Minister of Higher Education Blade Nzimande and appointing Ayanda Dlodlo as the Minister of Home Affairs.
Readers took to social media to react on Zuma’s decision.

Clarence Watts wrote: “Home Affairs minister probably didn’t finish setting up office….now moved again. Pathetic leadership.”

Its like whenever dude is faced with the possibility of being challenged for his position, he juss says some slick shit like “I know what to do, Cabinet reshuffle”.
Matlala Raldo Harold wrote: “Blade Nzimande is now an unemployed graduate. Let him also experience our struggle.”
Sello Mokoko wrote: “To me this daylight cabinet reshuffle has no bearing on my conscience. In fact this reshuffling is a waste of time. I do not understand why there is so much hype, when in fact these ministers will only occupy these posts for only two and half months, as the December 2018 elective is almost around the corner.”
