JOHANNESBURG — The leader of South Africa’s Democratic Alliance, Geordin Hill-Lewis, has formally called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to restructure which members of his party hold cabinet positions, the party announced on Wednesday.
The Democratic Alliance, which serves as the second-largest party within the country’s ruling coalition, released a statement outlining the requested changes. One of the most notable requests involves Hill-Lewis asking Ramaphosa to reassign John Steenhuisen — Hill-Lewis’s predecessor as party leader — from his current post as agriculture minister to a new role as deputy trade minister.
