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.
