Deputy President Paul Mashatile is set to continue his series of high-level meetings with key government ministers in Cape Town on Tuesday. These engagements are part of ongoing discussions aimed at solidifying a common program of action for the seventh administration under President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The meetings, which will take place at Tuynhuys, the President's Cape Town office, will include discussions with several ministers who oversee portfolios directly related to the Deputy President's delegated responsibilities. The ministers expected to meet with Deputy President Mashatile include:
Defence and Military Veterans Minister Angie Motshekga
Rural Development and Land Reform Minister Mzwanele Nyhontso
Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa
Water and Sanitation Minister Pemmy Majodina
These sessions, scheduled to begin at 9 a.m., follow last week's meeting between the Deputy President and Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen, also held at Tuynhuys. The ongoing engagements are focused on aligning the efforts of these core ministries with the broader objectives of the administration, particularly in areas critical to the Deputy President's portfolio.
The outcome of these discussions is expected to contribute to the formulation of a cohesive strategy that addresses key national priorities, such as land reform, defense, water security, and governance.
