Reactions to Dunga’s appointment
Reactions to Lesufi’s inclusion of the Economic Freedom Fighters in the Government of Provincial Unity have varied. The province’s African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) rejected the reshuffle. The party’s provincial secretary, Mpumelelo Sangweni, accused Lesufi of opposing resolutions the Provincial Working Committee made. Sangweni added that the Premier was not to reduce the number of ANC members in the provincial cabinet.
The South African National Civic Organisation (SANCO) was also unhappy about Dunga’s appointment. SANCO Gauteng’s Chairperson, Abram Mashishi, slammed the appointment and said that it was an insult and a betrayal to the Gauteng residents.

Netizens also discussed Ndlozi.
Legend King remarked:
“You were going to be the Premier of Gauteng if you were still with us, Bra Mbuyiseni. You couldn’t compromise for us.”
SmoothTalker said:
“Mbuyiseni Ndlozi is making sure the EFF looks stupid. They attack a noble civil man and he replies with grace.”
Ntombikayise praised him.
“You are a very kind man, Dr. Ndlozi. You have so much humility, it’s commendable. We are learning a lot from you. May God bless you.”
Others were against the appointment.
King asked:
“Is he qualified, though, to handle such a financial book?”
Standing for Justice said:
“I am not a fan of the ANC, but this is not wise. You can’t have a majority party giving such a powerful position to an opposition.”
Panyaza Lesufi defends Nkululeko Dunga
In a related article, Briefly News reported that Lesufi defended Dunga after a question about his academic capabilities to lead the Finance portfolio in Gauteng. Dunga was announced as the province’s Finance MEC.
Lesufi said that Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen’s qualifications were not an issue when he became a cabinet member. He added that hunting for fellow politicians’ weaknesses with whom there is a difference in opinion is wrong.
