Holomisa says new Cabinet is Gupta-aligned
United Democratic Movement (UDM) leader Bantu Holomisa says President Jacob Zuma is busy “flexing his muscles”.
Holomisa was responding to the Cabinet reshuffle confirmed on Thursday night, which saw Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan replaced by Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba.
“He has challenged the so-called ANC leaders who pretend they have powers to change anything. He has come up with a Gupta-aligned cabinet,” says Holomisa.

He believes the Gupta family’s wishes will now come true.
“We are now convinced that the wishes of the Guptas, approval of their banks, more access to resources and state corporations will all be approved. There is nothing positive about this new cabinet reshuffle, other than the perpetuation of state capture by the Guptas.”
Holomisa says President Zuma has succeeded in capturing National Treasury and the rest of the reshuffled ministers is not really of concern.
