Former DA MP Douglas Gibson has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to crack the whip on Premier Panyaza Lesufi as he appears to push ahead with unreasonable portfolio allocations in the Gauteng Provincial Government.
Gibson was responding to a question about whether the Gauteng squabbles over positions impact the national governments decision on portfolios.
I dont think it will do that, the national government has set a tone and I am quite sure that if Mr Lesufi is unreasonable the DA wont agree with him and if he is unreasonable, President Ramaphosa will take out the whip, he said.
The announcement of Lesufis provincial cabinet was postponed for the second time on Monday night after provincial leaders were instructed by Luthuli House to postpone the announcement of the provincial cabinet.
This is because the ANC and DA in Gauteng are failing to reach an agreement on posts in the formation of the government of provincial unity.
