Ramaphosa demite a ministra do Desenvolvimento Social, Sisisi Tolashe

O presidente Cyril Ramaphosa destituiu Sisisi Tolashe do cargo de ministra do Desenvolvimento Social. A decisão ocorre após meses de reportagens detalhando má conduta em seu gabinete. Sindisiwe Chikunga foi nomeada ministra interina neste período.

O presidente Cyril Ramaphosa demitiu Sisisi Tolashe de seu cargo na quinta-feira, nos termos da seção 91(2) da Constituição. O gabinete do presidente declarou que reportagens na mídia motivaram a decisão.

Tolashe enfrentava escrutínio devido a dois SUVs de luxo doados por autoridades chinesas. Esses veículos foram registrados em nome de seus filhos adultos, e não em nome da Liga das Mulheres do ANC, contrariando suas declarações ao Parlamento.

Outra acusação envolvia uma funcionária do departamento contratada como auxiliar de alimentação. Ela teria sido obrigada a trabalhar na residência de Tolashe e a transferir R7.000 por mês para a filha da ministra.

Sindisiwe Chikunga, ministra na Presidência para Mulheres, Juventude e Pessoas com Deficiência, foi nomeada ministra interina enquanto aguarda-se uma substituição permanente.
