There is a god - Western Cape cabinet reshuffle claims Dyantyi

Dyantyi has confirmed that he has been axed

Western Cape Local Government and Housing Minister, Richard Dyantyi has become the first casualty of the Cabinet reshuffle in the province.

Dyantyi has confirmed that he has been axed. This comes as newly elected Premier, Lynne Brown, prepares to announce her new look cabinet later today. Dyantyi has been perceived as an ally of ousted Premier Ebrahim Rasool.

Brown says the announcement, expected earlier this week, was delayed as she had to consult with the ANC's National Executive Committee on the make-up of her new cabinet.
