Mthembu refuses to comment on Cabinet reshuffle
ANC chief whip Jackson Mthembu has refused to comment on the recent Cabinet reshuffle.
Mthembu addressed the media about the ANC's policy documents at Luthuli House today.
He says the ANC will address the matter as a collective.
"The ANC will deal with the current issue that has arisen and the ANC leadership will give guidance. We are meeting tomorrow," Mthembu told journalists.
He refused to explain to journalists why President Jacob Zuma fired some ministers and not others who have been performing badly.
The president announced a major Cabinet reshuffle just after midnight on Friday, making 20 changes.
Finance minister Pravin Gordhan and his deputy Mcebisi Jonas are among those sacked.
Their dismissal has caused major outrage in political circles as well as among the public.
