Mbombela - Mpumalanga Premier David Mabuza has reshuffled his cabinet to allow a professional doctor to head the provincial Health and Social Development Department.
In a press conference, Mabuza said the reshuffle was based on an assessment of the MECs in the province.
"After doing an analysis, I've decided to make a few changes in my cabinet," said Mabuza.
He said that during the next provincial lekgotla, another assessment would be done to see if any more changes were needed in his cabinet.
Last November, Mabuza reshuffled his cabinet, which resulted in two members of his executive committee being removed, while several swapped departments.
The MECs who lost their jobs are Jabu Mahlangu, who formerly headed the Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism, and Meshack Malinga, who formerly headed the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development and Land Administration.
