Ramaphosa accepts David Mabuza’s resignation, thanks him for ‘exceptional service’

The president thanked Mabuza for his “exceptional service” to the country.

“The deputy president has undertaken the responsibilities of his office with dedication. I am grateful for the support he has provided to me throughout his term and for the leadership he has provided to the work of government,” Ramaphosa said.

“His contribution has been valued by the many constituencies with which he has engaged, including traditional leaders, military veterans, civil society formations and international bodies. As leader of government business, he has ably managed the relationship between the Executive and Parliament, working to ensure the transformative legislative programme of this administration is advanced.”
