Zuma denies cabinet reshuffle

Xinhua, September 29, 2016 Adjust font size:

South African President Jacob Zuma has rejected rumours on social media that he was preparing to reshuffle the nation's cabinet, his office said on Thursday.

The Presidency has been alerted to a list of names which is circulating on social media which is reportedly a new list of ministers and deputy ministers to be appointed in an apparent cabinet reshuffle, presidential spokesperson Bongani Ngqulunga said.

"President Zuma strongly condemns this malicious dissemination of untruthful information by people who do not have the interests of the country at heart," Ngqulunga said in a statement.

According to rumours on social media, Zuma is preparing to remove vocal critics in an upcoming cabinet reshuffle so as to consolidate his power. Endit
