Ramathuba accused of undoing gains with her Limpopo Cabinet reshuffle

Limpopo Premier Phophi Ramathuba's recent Cabinet reshuffle has sparked controversy. The ANC Women's League in the province expressed disappointment, stating that the new executive council does not meet the 50% gender parity requirement. The previous leadership had more female MECs than the current one. Additionally, the ANC Veterans League criticized the reshuffle, alleging that it reflects deep-seated structural patriarchy.

However, Ramathuba's supporters argue that she is a champion of gender parity and appointed women based on merit, not gender. The ANC's provincial spokesperson, Ernest Rachoene, was unavailable for comment.
