Thats how you make an ANNOUNCEMENT. 3mins then ubadedele. You gotta love Zuma.

The latest reshuffle sincerely serves the interest of Pres Zuma yet fails to address the concerns of the public. My view Zuma 1 – SA 0

Zuma’s cabinet reshuffle has nothing to do with service, it’s political. How else is Angie Motshekga still there?

#reshuffle If Zuma was serious about service delivery rather than eliminating his political opponents;Angie Motshega would have been fired!

Changes to the National Executive included the firing of Minister of Communications Dina Pule and Minister of Human Settlements Tokyo Sexwale. The former was replaced by Yunus Karrim and the latter by Connie September.

Zuma: “Hi Dina, the bad… news is you’re fired. The good news is you… are trending on the twitter” #reshuffle

While some commented on the necessity of some of the changes made, others saw the whole thing as nothing more than a distraction.

President Zuma said to be a monster and a tyrant. This sudden “reshuffle” does not help combat that accusation.

Zuma must reshuffle himself too ☺
