According to a Monday night City Press report, president Cyril Ramaphosa is in a pickle as a result of deputy president David Mabuza’s intention to resign this week. According to the report, Ramaphosa did not want to conduct a cabinet reshuffle right away.

Mabuza has informed the president of his plan to quit. The deputy president and Ramaphosa met several times this week, according to reports, in preparation for an impending cabinet reshuffle. According to reports, Mabuza informed Ramaphosa of his desire to step down in order to ensure a seamless transition of power in the wake of Paul Mashatile’s election as the ANC’s deputy president.

This resignation would allow for a new leader to be appointment and any necessary changes to be made to the current government structure. Mabuza’s decision to step down is seen as a gesture of goodwill and a sign of respect for the newly elected deputy president. It is hoped that this move will help ensure a peaceful and successful transition of power in the coming months.

Wide-ranging reports this week suggested that Mabuza is on the verge of stepping down and allowing ANC, deputy president Paul Mashatile to take his seat in the presidency.Mabuza’s position as deputy president became tenuous after the ANC’s elective conference at the party’s 55th national elective conference last month.
