In a statement handed out at a media briefing after the ANC's weekly caucus meeting, outgoing chief whip Nathi Nhleko said Mbulelo Goniwe had been appointed to take over from him.
The new caucus chairwoman would be Vytjie Mentor.
MPs appointed to chair the ANC's study groups included: Finance: Rob Davies, with Rhoda Joemat as his deputy; International Affairs: Job Sithole and Fatima Hajaig (co-chairs); Minerals and Energy: Nathi Mthethwa; Public Enterprises: Yunis Carrim; Sport and Recreation: Butana Komphela; Trade and Industry: Ben Martins; Water Affairs: Connie September; and Joint Budget: Nhlanhla Nene.
These MPs are expected to be appointed to also chair the National Assembly's respective committees.
Nhleko said the decision on the chairs appointed was "reflexive and informed" by ANC policy positions on gender equality, political maturity, experience and demographics.
There were now 12 women out of 34 chairs, he said. - Sapa.
