EASTERN Cape Premier Phumulo Masualle has appointed Mlungisi Mvoko as Eastern Cape Education MEC.
Mvoko
has been human settlements MEC since March and has been acting as
education MEC since the death of Mandla Makupula last month.
Masualle’s spokesman Sonwabo Mbananga told Daily Sun: “Following the passing of the late MEC of education, the premier has appointed Mvoko as the new Eastern Cape MEC.
“Newly sworn in provincial legislature member Babalo Madikizela, who
is also ANC provincial treasurer, will take over the human settlements
portfolio.
“Madikizela will take
the oath of office tomorrow. Deputy judge president David van Zyl will
preside over the proceedings. Masualle wishes both Mvoko and Madikizela
well in their new roles and responsibilities.”
Mvoko became a
member of the Eastern Cape legislature at the beginning of this year
following his election as ANC deputy provincial chairman during the
party’s provincial elective conference.
ANC provincial spokesman
Gift Ngqondi said: “The ANC welcomes the cabinet reshuffle. We believe
the manner in which the reshuffle has been done will promote service
delivery as the correct people have been allocated to the right jobs.”
