This follows President Jacob Zuma’s cabinet re-shuffle named on Sunday.
The president also created a new ministry of small business development, in line he said, with his second term’s stated mission of focusing on growing the economy and creating jobs.
That ministry will be led by Lindiwe Zulu – who has served as Zuma’s international affairs advisor.
