Ramaphosa Finally Pulls the Plug on Sisisi Tolashe President Cyril Ramaphosa has finally acted against embattled Social Development Minister Sisisi Tolashe — removing her from office after explosive allegations of misconduct and abuse of state resources. The Presidency confirmed on Thursday that Ramaphosa dismissed Tolashe in terms of Section 91(2) of the Constitution,
following mounting pressure over claims that she accepted two luxury Chinese SUVs allegedly meant for the ANC Women’s League and failed to declare them to Parliament. But the scandal doesn’t stop there. Investigations also revealed that a department-employed “food aide” was allegedly working at Tolashe’s private home in East London and forced to pay R7,000 a month into the minister’s daughter’s account to help cover household expenses. Now, with public outrage growing
and questions mounting about accountability in government, Ramaphosa has appointed Sindisiwe
Chikunga as acting minister while a permanent replacement is considered.
