Summary
John Steenhuisen has been proposed by South Africa’s Democratic Alliance for deputy minister of trade, industry and competition, with the party asking President Cyril Ramaphosa to make the appointment, Rapport reported.
Alexandra Abrahams, the DA’s current deputy minister in the trade department, would move to deputy minister of electricity under the same reshuffle plan.
Ryan Coetzee, the DA’s head of strategy, led the internal evaluation behind the proposed changes, according to the report.
The request centers on the DA, South Africa’s second-biggest political party, repositioning senior figures inside Ramaphosa’s government.
