President Cyril Ramaphosa has reassigned Justice Minister Thembi Simelane to the Department of Human Settlements amidst mounting allegations of wrongdoing, including a controversial loan linked to the VBS Bank scandal. This move, announced Tuesday night, is part of a Cabinet mini-shuffle aimed at enhancing government efficiency.
Simelane, under scrutiny for a personal loan from Gundo Investments, which is tied to VBS looting, has faced questions from Parliament, the ANC integrity commission, and the media. Despite this, Ramaphosa has opted to retain her in Cabinet, sparking debate over accountability.
