JOHANNESBURG— Gauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi trusted his new Cabinet, even though South Africans didn't feel the same way.
Lesufi is confident in the Cabinet's capabilities
According to SABC News, Lesufi spoke after announcing his Cabinet. It consists of seven members of the ANC, one member of RISE Mzansi, the Imkatha Freedom Party, and the Patriotic Alliance.
MECs given new portfolios include the former Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Lebogang Maile, the new Treasury and Economic Development MEC, and Faith Mazibuko, the new MEC for Social Development. Lesufi is confident the Cabinet can improve the province. Their mandate is to crush lawlessness, crime, and corruption, support municipalities, and revitalise the province's CBDs.
Mzansi has little faith in them
South Africans discussing his Cabinet announcement on Facebook were less than pleased and challenged him.

''Start by cleaning the Johannesburg CBD.''

''Meaning you will fight your own comrades because you and I know that they are corrupt.''
Bill Daniels said:
''First, keep the Premier position. Next month, you all might be voted out.''

''Edwin Sodi's friends made it back in.''
