Kimberley-About four changes were effected when the Northern Cape Premier reshuffled her cabinet yesterday. 

Premier Sylvia Lucas made fewer changes than anticipated, when she moved social development MEC Alvin Botes to the Corporate Governance, human settlement and traditional affairs (Coghsta) portfolio. 

Botes’ department will be occupied by Tiny Chotelo and MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison Patrick Mabilo was moved to Enviromental and Nature conservation, which was previously occupied by Lucas before she became a premier. 

Mabilo made way for the newly sworn in Mac Jack.

 The former MEC for Coghsta, Kenny Moeiemang will resume the Legislature speaker position, a vacancy left by Boeboe van Wyk, who was redeployed by the ANC to be the new mayor of Namakhoi.
