President Cyril Ramaphosa is considering a request from the Democratic Alliance (DA) to reshuffle government roles as he continues campaigning during South Africa’s voter registration period. Multiple reports say Ramaphosa is spending the voter registration weekend driving public engagement and encouraging eligible citizens to register or confirm they are prepared to vote ahead of the elections. One outlet reports that Ramaphosa continues his campaign activities in Tshwane while the voter registration drive is underway. On the political issue of the reshuffle, Ramaphosa indicates that input from coalition partners such as the DA is not binding. He characterizes such proposals as suggestions and says he will take time to consider them thoroughly rather than respond immediately. The reporting presents the reshuffle request as part of ongoing coalition and governance discussions, occurring alongside Ramaphosa’s efforts to mobilise support during the registration weekend. No specific details of the proposed reshuffle are included in the available summaries, and the timing or outcome of Ramaphosa’s consideration is not stated.
