SA President Cyril Ramaphosa

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa still has a number of balls in the air as the time approaches for him to announce his new, reconfigured cabinet, SA’s authoritative Business Day newspaper reports.

“It is not yet clear whether David Mabuza will be available for the position of deputy president, or whether Ramaphosa will have to consider another appointment,” the paper says this morning in an exclusive report.

It quotes Mabuza’s close associates as saying on Sunday that they expected him to be sworn in as an MP before the cabinet is announced.
