JOHANNESBURG, GAUTENG — The Democratic Alliance's Gauteng leader, Solly Msimanga, is unhappy that Premier Panyaza Leasufi appointed members of the Patriotic Alliance, RISE Mzansi and the Inkatha Freedom Party to his Cabinet.
DA's Solly Msimanga slams MECs
According to IOL, Msimanga said it is laughable that RISE Mzansi's national chairperson, Vuyiswa Ramokgopa, has been appointed the MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, the Patriotic Alliance's Sheila Mary Peters, the MEC for Environment and the IFP's Bonginkosi Ndlovu the MEC for e-Government.
Msimanga said some of the departments in which Panyaza Lesufi's Cabinet of MECs heads are jokes. He slammed the separation of the Department of e-Government from the Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs portfolio. He was also against establishing a Department of Environment, saying the ANC exposed itself and that it was only interested in gaining votes.

Phuti Sam Lestoalo said:
''Solly, political positions will humble you. Go back and refresh your manifesto.''
Ntshebele Mmaswi Bapela said:
''Solly and his granny Helen thought they could bully Panyaza as they did with Cyril."
