19 May 2023 - NW964
Majozi, Ms Z to ask the Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies
With reference to the recent Cabinet reshuffle during which his department’s leadership has changes, and considering that he was shifted from an Office with a vastly different mandate , what are the details of the plans that his department had in place to ensure that the change in Ministers did not cause instability in the rest of the department.

Reply:
The Department and its Entities presented to Minister, Programmes of Action (PoA) being undertaken and executed in collaboration with the sector. The Minister was satisfied with the PoA and called for the acceleration, so that digital transformation enables efficiency in service delivery; and that digital communication services are affordable and accessible.
In this regard, the Minister has negotiated his PA with the President which include the PoA.
There was no disruptions or instability as the Department and its entities continues to implement his PoA which support the MTSF.
Thank You.
