26 August 2021
Subsequent to the changes made by President Cyril Ramaphosa on the 5th August 2021 to his Executive, aimed at improving the capacity of government to effectively undertake reforms, a number of vacancies arose wherein certain Caucus members were absorbed into the Executive.
Following an ordinary ANC Caucus meeting held today, Thursday 26 August 2021 these vacancies were filled and announced by the Chief Whip Comrade Pemmy Majodina to the ANC Caucus.
In its totality, the ANC Parliamentary Caucus list of Chairpersons and Whips is tilted towards gender parity especially with regards to women representation and reflects true commitment to the principle of non – sexism. President Ramaphosa had also separated the portfolio of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation into two separate entities, leading to the Caucus augmenting its own line functions.
