According to the sources, the DA initially demanded seven ministerial positions, including portfolios such as Water and Sanitation, Communications, Minerals and Energy, Education, and Public Service and Administration as well as Health. The DA also sought to have John Steenhuisen appointed as Deputy President. However, after extensive negotiations, the DA’s demand has been reduced to five ministerial positions.
“The ANC has made it clear that we are willing to compromise, but we cannot accede to all of the DA’s demands,” said a senior ANC source. “We have counter-offered with five ministries and believe this is a fair arrangement.”
Sources also indicated that President Cyril Ramaphosa is contemplating expanding his cabinet to accommodate GNU partners, with some smaller parties potentially being offered deputy minister roles. “There is a possibility of expanding the cabinet to ensure all partners are adequately accommodated,” added another ANC insider.
