Social Development Minister Sisi Tolashe has been sack photo supplied
By Geordin Hill-Lewis
Leader of the Democratic Alliance
The Democratic Alliance welcomes the firing of Minister Sisisi Tolashe following the relentless pressure applied by the DA for her removal from Cabinet.
Mrs Tolashe’s position in the Cabinet was untenable, and the President has done the right thing.
The DA will always champion accountability, integrity and clean government.
The DA notes the interim appointment made by the President, but calls on him to urgently make a permanent appointment to the Department of Social Development.
South Africans deserve a competent and credible Minister who can lead this critical department with integrity, stability and a clear focus on serving vulnerable people who depend on its support.
