SA's ICT sector likely to suffer from cabinet reshuffleSouth African president Jacob Zuma's overnight cabinet reshuffle has been characterised as regressive for the country's ICT sector by one industry analyst. The changes include the appointment of Ayanda Dlodlo as new Minister of Communications with Thandi Mahambehlala as her deputy minister. Steven Ambrose, ICT industry analyst and CEO of Strategy Worx believes the leadership changes to the cabinet overall and those in departments overseeing the ICT sector appear to be unjustified. "The cabinet changes appear to be politically motivated and not based on any rationale that makes any sense from a performance and or capability perspective. As such, with each reshuffle it takes time for the entire department to settle down and to start working effectively."
