At present, they do however remain Members of Parliament. At this stage, none have indicated any intention to resign from Parliament and have thus retained their seats. • The new Ministers and Deputy Ministers who have been appointed have been issued a clear directive by President Jacob Zuma to work tirelessly with other Cabinet members to bring about radical socio-economic transformation and delivery of the party’s electoral mandate. • Some former Cabinet Ministers and Deputy Ministers have been relieved of their duties, while others have been moved laterally.

They hardly communicate verbally to other people. Most of them, if not everyone, have smartphones which disturbs their social life and studies. The question is “How can people who care less about oth- ers and communicate nonverbally can be leaders?” A leader is someone who is at the top or above others ei- ther in the workplace, organization, musical band, study group and so forth, which consist of a number of people. Youth of today should get up and face reality and decrease the time they spend on social media platforms. They should go out there, meet people, engage themselves in projects of their stream, be active, connect and associate with people who are doing things relating to their careers.

Any study of disasters that disregards their entanglement with power relations and political action misses an important dimension without which, I would claim, disaster situations cannot be fully understood.
