STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT NELSON MANDELA ON THE APPOINTMENT OF DEPUTY MINISTERS
After due consultation, I have decided to relieve ANC MP, Bantu Holomisa of his responsibilities as Deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism.
In his place, I have appointed ANC MP and Chairperson of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Environmental Affairs and Tourism, Peter Mokaba.
Because of the increasing demands on the Office of Deputy President Thabo Mbeki, I have decided to appoint ANC MP Dr Essop Pahad as Deputy Minister in the Office of the Deputy President.
These changes will take effect from 1 August 1996.
