Deputy Economic Development Minister Enoch Godongwana has resigned with effect from Monday.
Godongwana notified President Jacob Zuma in December of his decision to pursue personal interests and was asked to remain on board until mid-January, the Presidency said in a statement on Sunday.
Godongwana, who was also a former Deputy Public Enterprises Minister, would remain a member of the ruling party's Economic Transformation Committee.
Zuma said the resignation was a “huge loss” given Godongwana’s expertise, skills and experience, adding that he believed his work experience and expertise would not be entirely lost to the public service but would be used elsewhere in the pursuit of meaningful economic transformation.
