South Africa
South African President Jacob Zuma has appointed minister of state security David Mahlobo as energy minister in a cabinet reshuffle, the presidency said on Tuesday.
Zuma changed six ministers, including home affairs, state security and communications. Blade Nzimande, a vocal critic of Zuma, was removed as minister of higher education and training.
This is the second cabinet reshuffle in seven months after that of March that sparked a lot of protests in support of the former finance minister Pravin Gordhan who was sacked over suspicion of scheming against Zuma.
