Ramaphosa is expected to announce the new Minister of Electricity, who will be based in the Presidency and tasked with resolving the energy crisis. 


The reshuffle could also see a host of senior ministers leaving the executive after failing to secure a seat on the ANC’s 80-member NEC during the December national conference.  


This includes Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan, Employment and Labour Minister Thulas Nxesi, International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor, Sports, Arts and Culture Minister, Nathi Mthethwa, and Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and People with Disabilities Maite Nkoana-Mashabane. 


The Department of Public Service and Administration has also been without a political head since Ayanda Dlodlo left for the World Bank in April last year.


Fikile Mbalula will also have to be replaced as Transport minister, as he is based at Luthuli House full-time to focus on his role as ANC secretary-general.
