The Presidency says this ends his term as his term as deputy president of the country.

 

Last month, Mabuza announced that he had informed President Cyril Ramaphosa he was resigning after his ousting as ANC deputy leader in favour of Paul Mashatile.

 

But he was asked to stay on for a bit longer.

 

Mabuza’s resignation comes as the country waits for an anticipated cabinet reshuffle.

"The deputy president has undertaken the responsibilities of his office with dedication. I am grateful for the support he has provided to me throughout his term and for the leadership he has provided to the work of government,” Ramaphosa said.

 

“His contribution has been valued by the many constituencies with which he has engaged, including traditional leaders, military veterans, civil society formations and international bodies. 

 

"As Leader of Government Business, he has ably managed the relationship between the Executive and Parliament, working to ensure that the transformative legislative programme of this administration is advanced.”
