Ramaphosa Reshuffles the Cabinet Across Six Ministries

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced changes to the national executive after consulting the Democratic Alliance within the Government of National Unity, touching Agriculture, Environment, Trade and Industry, Energy, Higher Education, and Water and Sanitation, plus a new Social Development minister. The reshuffle is a reminder that the GNU governs by negotiated appointments, not a single-party mandate. For the diaspora tracking policy direction, personnel at Energy and Trade signals where reform momentum sits. Continuity of the coalition, more than any single name, is the story.
