New Ministers will be announced this week: Presidency
The Presidency has clarified the names of his new executive will be announced later this week.
This follows media reports that President Ramaphosa was expected to announce the members of the new executive today.
A political analyst believes the administration will reflect how serious the president is about fulfilling his promises to the country.
Imraan Buccus says we should expect a mixed group of cabinet members.
"I also think Ramaphosa has promised to get rid of a number of deputy ministries in our country. That would be a worthwhile move for Ramaphosa to make. It is clear that he will have to consolidate the economic ministries - in order for South Africa to attract more investment and is more open to the world in terms of moving forward."

With renewed calls for a woman to take on the role of deputy president, Buccus says the president might have a challenge on his hands with his former deputy.
David Mabuza has met with the ANC Integrity Commission.
That's after a commission report suggested that he'd allegedly prejudiced the integrity of the ruling party.
"It's going to be a tough one for the president. We know that Mabuza's name has not been cleared and we hope the Integrity Commission comes back by Tuesday with a ruling. It makes it difficult for Ramaphosa as he has to make a decision. I would be leaning towards the fact that he is likely to announce a female deputy president."
