The two deputy ministers are David Malatsi (social development) and Renier Schoeman (health), both of the New National Party (NNP).
Government spokesperson Joel Netshitenzhe said the appointments also reflected the broadening of co-operation among various political formations, at national government level.
According to him, the appointments had been made in consultation with several political parties in government.
"Such co-operation is premised on meeting the challenge of improving the quality of life of all South Africans as well as ensuring the involvement of the widest spectrum of political parties in the practical tasks of reconstruction and development". Mr Netshitenzhe said President Mbeki was confident that these leaders who had offered their services at national government level to the practical task of rebuilding the society, would acquit themselves well in their new responsibilities - BuaNews.
