Ngoako Ramatlhodi resigns as ANC MP
The former public service and administration minister joins Mcebisi Jonas, Tina Joemat-Pettersson and Dipuo Peters
Former public service and administration minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi has become the latest high-profile ANC MP to resign, bringing to four in a week the number of axed ministers to leave Parliament. Ramatlhodi was among the ministers who grew more critical of President Jacob Zuma’s leadership and was replaced by former communications minister Faith Muthambi. Ramatlhodi is an advocate as well as an academic. He served as premier of Limpopo from 1994 to 2004. He also served as minister of mineral resources before moving to the Department of Public Service and Administration in Zuma’s preceding reshuffle. Ramatlhodi told Business Day he had taken ill but would announce his plans following the resignation soon. A source close to Ramatlhodi said the former minister was keen to serve the ANC within party structures.
